Washed Upon the Shore – Delousing
2015
Canvas Gallery – Karachi
Curated by Amin Gulgee

Switching traditional gender roles, Sunil Shankar sat on a bench in the courtyard repeatedly drawing a fine-toothed comb through Joshinder Chaggar’s hair for Delousing. Positioned within the wider performance environment of Washed Upon the Shore, the work existed within a liminal zone between heaven and hell, where gestures of care, ritual and repetition unfolded alongside sculpture and performance.
