Suchitra Mattai: Myth from Matter
Suchitra Mattai: Myth from Matter
Published by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., 2024
This fully illustrated catalogue accompanies Suchitra Mattai: Myth from Matter, a stunning survey of the artist’s richly layered, multidisciplinary work. Through textiles, found materials, and reimagined cultural symbols, Suchitra Mattai explores themes of identity, migration, and memory—transforming ordinary objects into mythic meditations on belonging and resilience.
The publication features an essay by Aruna D’Souza and a Q&A between the artist and NMWA Assistant Curator Hannah Shambroom, offering insight into how Mattai’s practice reclaims and reframes traditional colonialist narratives. With full-color imagery throughout, this catalogue serves as both a visual journey and an intellectual exploration of one of today’s most compelling contemporary artists.
Suchitra Mattai's work is currently on display in the rotunda of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
