Inside June 2022 Jain Digest

Review of “Kahani” - an Art Exhibition by Deshna Shah By Professor Atul K. Shah

Deshna Shah from Manchester, UK, graduated from Oxford University in 2021 with a First class degree in Fine Art. She won the prestigious Emery Prize and was given the rare opportunity to exhibit her art over a two week period at Pembroke College, Oxford. She tackled the most fascinating and personal of subjects, communicating the unspoken between relations using the method of letter writing. In the exhibit Deshna anonymized the real life stories from people and converted them into art using her designed ‘Twilight Language’.

The author of this article, Professor Atul K. Shah, says, “The written word does not do justice to what Deshna has curated. You have to come and experience it for yourself – the chances are it will linger long after the visit.”
