Answer 2

Answer:

Santhal Family, widely considered to be the first public Modernist sculpture in India, was made by Ramkinkar Baij in 1938. It’s a peculiarly familiar work, depicting a mother, father, child and dog from the Santhal tribe, carrying their few possessions with them to a new life. For the exhibition ‘Santhal Family: Positions around an Indian Sculpture’ the curator Grant Watson in collaboration with Suman Gopinath and Anshuman Dasgupta invited a broad range of international artists to respond to the sculpture, embodying and also reflecting on contemporary discussions about ideas of social mobility and artistic practice. As a concept Baij’s Santhal Family sits firmly at the centre of this exhibition, with concentric circles of interest overlapping and connecting across different cultures and generations.
