Fazal Sheikh
Beloved Daughters
Van Every / Smith Galleries
On View: October 17, 2008— December 10, 2008
Beloved Daughets brings together photographs and text from Fazal Sheikh/s two most relevant book projects that explore the lives of women in India. Moksha (Heaven, 2005) concerns dispossed widows in the holy city of Vrindavan, who live out their lives in devotion to Krishna, while Ladli (Beloved Daughters, 2007) examines the effects of enduring prejudices against girls and women in Indian society.
The exhibition and associated publications were made possible by Jane P. Watkins. The exhibition was organized by the Princeton University Art Museum. The presentation at Davidson College was made possible in part by the generous support of the Dean Rusk International Program, the Public Lectures Committee, the Music Department, the Humanities Program, and the Herb Jackson and Laura Grosch Gallery Endowment.
