Synopsis

An aftershock is a wave of energy that reverberates through the earth, travelling outward and away from an epicentre of violent movement and disturbance. At the heart of the "AfterShock" project, sits the work of six Indian artists whose work addresses conflict - local, national, social, political and personal - with an approach characterised by a certain reflective distance. "AfterShock" does not provide a survey of conflict in the world today; instead, each work represents a strategy for responding to aspects of conflict and violence which in turn might provide us with ways to make sense of the images which confront us through the media each day.
