The Sindhu Project: Enigma of Roots

Exhibition Begins June 17

South Asia Institute

The Sindhu Project embodies responses of artists Mahwish Chishty and Gunjan Kumar to explorations of archaeological sites and artifacts in the expansive Sindhu (Indus) watershed, a geographical region stretching across northwest India and much of Pakistan.
