Kolkata Centre for Creativity in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel in India inaugurated an exhibition “In Another Green”. It is curated by Achia Anzi and features artists Joseph Dadoune and Leor Grady, who will explore the dynamics of colonial elements in Israel through the theme of nature.

The inauguration ceremony took place on 8th May and was graced by Reena Dewan(Director, KCC), RonyYedidia-Clein(Deputy Chief of Mission at Embassy of Israel in New Delhi), and Harshavardhan Neotia (Chairman of the Ambuja-Neotia Group&Honorary Consul of Israel in Kolkata).

“Preliminary Background Remarks,” a poem by Algerian-born Israeli poet Erez Biton, explores the dynamics of coloniality in Israel through the theme of nature. The title of the exhibition has been taken from this poem. It is centrally concerned with the process of decolonization and its ambiguous relationship to modernity, tracing the long history of anti-colonial struggles. Colonialism, the conflict between nature and culture, and many other critical issues are addressed in the artworks and performance, which are linked to the Jewish question, Zionism, and the political and cultural histories of Israel and Palestine.

The exhibition will be open to all from 8^th May to 5^th June 2022, on the 4^th floor at KCC, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 pm.
