Shahmen Suku will spend his residency researching Failures, Deaths, and the ceremonies that surround them in his family histories. Building upon his long-standing engagement with performative storytelling and previous exploration of Tamil cultural traditions via the alter ego Radha, the artist will confront the conflicting and multipolar narratives of his family history which include economic struggles, heated arguments, health issues, and prolonged disagreements.

  • 4 September 2023 – 31 January 2024

The artist's in-depth journey into the complex and fraught interpersonal relations that have shaped his emotional upbringing will entail the collection of oral histories from family members, fieldtrips to temples and cemeteries, and archival research into his family's records, recipes, photographs, and films.
