Samanta Batra Mehta, Mumbai

ARCHIVED: In a nostalgic retelling of childhood memory, artist Samanta Batra Mehta’s project, The Evocative Object, invites the viewer into a space of play and unbridled imagination. She uses an assemblage of collected antiquarian and vintage objects to evoke memories of her childhood creative journeys and share a sense of whimsy and hope.

The Show Windows, which is produced as part of the Coventry City of Culture programme, is inspired by L Frank Baum (author of the Oz books) and his publication on the art of shop windows displays.

The Show Windows is co-produced in Partnership by Coventry City of Culture Trust, Coventry Business Improvement District and RIBA and curated by Charlie Levine. The Show Windows is funded by Arts Council England. The Show Windows: Mumabi is co-produced with SqW:Lab and Tarq.
