| Summary: | This special edition of Nidan titled Sovereign Identities and Creativity presents a volume of work that focuses on the visual world through the lens of Hinduism and the through the dialogue of the Indian diaspora. The aim of this volume is to provide a view of the development of the study of the visual form towards creating a stronger art historical narrative within the framework of Indian-ness and Hinduism. While the borderline might be difficult to draw it does exist and becomes a way to register and describe these relationships within a contemporary global space. The volume comprises four papers from women writers who emerge from the Indian diaspora and who work in the field of the arts. There is flow of enquiry that extends from the discussion of iconic images in the work of Rabindranath Tagore to the lyrical paintings of Shalini Seereeram to the personal explorations of Reshma Chibba and finally the appropriation and misappropriation of Hindu icons in the modern western world in general and in South Africa in particular. |
