String Theory: Suchitra Mattai show at Socrates Sculpture Park

By Rima Suqi

“Suchitra Mattai: We are nomads, we are dreamers” is the artist’s first New York City solo show, drawing upon “themes of identity, migration, and memory.” It’s currently on view at Socrates Sculpture Park, in a lovely spot on the East River waterfront, and features  a series of large vibrant sculptures made from vintage saris collected from women of the South Asian diaspora. Mattai also created a series of seven smaller sculptures that are hanging from trees in a grove on the property, as well as a billboard featuring a thirty-foot collage. On view through August 25, 2024
