The Fowler Museum welcomes you to the opening celebration of I Will Meet You Yet Again: Contemporary Sikh Art, on view January 28–May 26, 2024. This exhibition offers a fresh look at the history and vitality of Sikh culture through paintings, posters, tapestries, and multimedia installations. An array of conceptual and material approaches reflects generational, personal, and gendered perspectives on the history of the community. Some works on view consider a Sikh understanding of “home” in light of displacement and longing. Other visual narratives draw inspiration from holy scriptures, legacies of persecution and protest, struggle and hope for a better future.
Join us for a performance at 6 pm, followed by a reception with light refreshments provided by Tulsi Eatery – Westwood and music from 7–9 pm.
