Suchitra Mattai

Joslyn Art Museum
Omaha, Nebraska
June 7–September 7, 2025

Mattai, a descendant of indentured servants sent from India to the Caribbean, will bring her commentary on the dislocations of migration and diasporic identity to the Joslyn in the form of an installation composed of braided saris. The mostly secondhand garments, which Mattai believes hold “mysteries” from their previous owners, will be arranged around a “reflecting pool” of broken glass.
