On March 5, Hollis Taggart opened History Reclaimed, a two-person exhibition of new and recent work by interdisciplinary contemporary artists Suchitra Mattai and Adrienne Elise Tarver. Featuring painting and embroidery as well as a large-scale, site-specific installation by Mattai, the exhibition will capture the intricate formal approaches Mattai and Tarver take to reveal the voices and identities of individuals—in particular women—who have been obscured and made invisible through colonialism, oppression, and deep rooted stereotypes and tropes. Mattai and Tarver bring their distinct backgrounds to bear as they explore the complexity of identity through personal and collective histories, engaging with narratives of subjugation that remain relevant today.
