Plucking the Stars I நட்சத்திிரங்களைை பறிித்தில் with Arulraj Ulaganathan Partner Event at Curado Art Space This solo exhibition by Arulraj Ulaganathan evolves new suites of artistic work engaging with biographical and social narratives around colonial legacies of the hill country, economic and ecological extractivism evidenced in daily experiences of plantation labour across tea estates. The artist hones in on communal perspectives of Malaiyaha Tamils through kin and neighbours, visualizes historical and current encounters of political neglect, suspended belonging, and dispossession. The tea plant is treated as material and symbolic capital networked into generational experience, forced movement, global trade and national power. Driven through emotional cartography, record keeping, and a surrealist space of drawing, Arulraj expands from his earlier series exhibited at the eighth edition of Colomboscope, Way of the Forest.
