Welancora Gallery is pleased to present, In my Home Clothes, a solo exhibition of new and recent work by Renluka Maharaj. The exhibition will take place from June 8 to July 13, 2023. This will be Maharaj’s first solo exhibition with Welancora.
Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Renluka Maharaj utilizes sourced photographs, textiles, sculpture, research and travel to create mixed media compositions that investigate how history, migration, memory, religion, and gender inform identity in general and that of her family in particular. The artist’s family lineage can be traced back to India during the 19th century when forced indentured servitude replaced African slave labor on sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean.
