Today, we are sharing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aakriti_mehrotra\/?hl=en\">Aakriti Mehrotra<\/a>\u2019s piece on Art in Adversity.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WB Yeats used the haunting phrase \u201cterrible beauty\u201d in his poem <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easter, 1916. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He wrote the poem to commemorate the Easter Rising in 1916 in which Irish nationalists led a rebellion to win independence from British rule. The phrase described the connection between the beautiful and brutal, and how profound change can come from terrible death and destruction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artists have long used times of adversity and crisis as an inspiration for some of history\u2019s most impactful and timeless works. Often, when artists search for an appropriate language to express chaos and carnage, it is art that is used as a tool of resistance and change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #993366;\">How Indian art has been shaped by landmark events<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pain caused by the Partition of Bengal in 1905 ignited the national consciousness and gave rise to the Swadeshi Movement. Rooted in the pride of nationalism, the Bengal School of Art ran parallel with the Swadeshi spirit and was led by Abanindranath Tagore. In 1906, Tagore painted the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bango Mata <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whose name was later changed to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bharat Mata. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The painting, considered to be the emblematic symbol of the Swadeshi Movement, showed a saffron clad woman as a deity and the mother of the nation, and evoked a strong sense of nationalism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few decades later, the independence of India in 1947 sowed the seed among some of the most iconic and important artists of India to usher a new era in Indian art. F.N. Souza, K.H. Ara, S.K. Bakre, H.A. Gade, M.F. Husain and S.H. Raza founded the Progressive Artists Group in 1947 and boldly rejected nationalism and the Bengal school style to celebrate the plurality of the nation. The group also came with different backgrounds, styles, and philosophies, and drew both from vernacular and folk traditions within the nation as well as western modernist practices. According to author Mulk Raj Anand, their contribution heralded \u201ca new dawn in the world of Indian art\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #993366;\">Post-2021 in perspective\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More contemporarily, the collective conscience of the nation was stirred by the brutal gang rape of a young woman in a moving bus in Delhi on 16th December 2021. In retrospect, the \u2018Nirbhaya effect\u2019 is particularly visible in mainstream media. Scholars have pointed out that there came a shift in storylines in Bollywood and TV serials, and narratives of strong and independent women defying and fighting against the odds started coming to the fore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his paper <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rise of the \u201cRebel Woman\u201d in the Post-2012 Popular Hindi Films, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madhurendra Jha looks at 2012 as an important marker in the timeline for Hindi cinema and the change in how the popular Hindi film industry has attempted to portray women since. Kangana Ranaut starrer <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2014) effectively showcased the contrast between a subservient Rani and an empowered Rani. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2016) highlighted the importance of women\u2019s consent. The protagonists of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink, Lipstick Under My Burkha, Manmarziyaan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> assert their identity and independence. They are more nuanced, often flawed, just as male characters have always been.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a direct response to the Nirbhaya tragedy, Bangalore-based visual artist Shilo Shiv Suleman started the Fearless Collective, where she asked artists to produce posters that showed an affirmative response against the obvious fear that had crept in for women for their safety. Seven years later, Suleman and a few women protesters painted the 60 ft mural at Shaheen Bagh that showed two women saying \u201cIshq Inquilab\u201d and \u201cMohabbat Zindabad\u201d, a testament to the women of Shaheen Bagh and the anti-CAA movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6048\" style=\"width: 824px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6048\" class=\" wp-image-6048\" src=\"https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1-300x200.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"814\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1-700x467.webp 700w, https:\/\/globalmusicinstitute.in\/v1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_0157-1024x683-1.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credits- @fearlesscollective Instagram<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anti-CAA protests of early 2020 saw art proliferate everywhere\u2013 on the streets, at monuments, at protest sites. Music, poetry and art were used as tools of resistance. Faiz Ahmed Faiz\u2019 \u2018Hum Dekhenge\u2019 proved its timelessness and became a rallying cry for the spirited protesters. Young poet Aamir Aziz who had earlier written <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ballad of Pehlu Khan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after the mob lynching of a 55-year old man in Alwar in 2019, went on to write the stirring poem <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during the anti-CAA protests. Pink Floyd\u2019s Roger Waters recited the translated version of Aziz\u2019s poem while demanding for the release of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #993366;\">Covid 19- rise in independent music output, collaborations, and labels<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can we think of art at a time like this?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the question posed to artists and audience alike. From literally being termed \u201cnon-essential\u201d, to the loss of livelihood that followed, Covid-19 has caused a lot of hardship, particularly for independent creators. But the anxiety came mixed with inspiration and creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There has been prolific work, increased collaborations and curiously enough, a rise in labels too. Blackstratblues\u2019 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hindsight<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is 2020<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a remarkable album from the ever-reliable Warren Mendosa that he describes is a result of his \u201cexperiences over the last, strange, strange year which seems to never end.\u201d Blackstratblues document 2020 beautifully, both through clever titles like \u2018This Will Be My Year\u2019 and \u2018We Are Responsible\u2019, and through the music itself as the album shifts from up-tempo optimism to melancholia as it progresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listening to Chennai-based band the F16s\u2019 almost sinisterly croon \u2018I\u2019m on Holiday, Forever\u2019 on their much anticipated EP <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is It Time To Eat The Rich, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it is clear that a sizable portion of the glittering record was shaped by these strange times. \u201cLyrically speaking, a lot of weight was added to the album because of the pandemic,\u201d says guitarist Abhinav Krishnaswamy. Featuring songs with joyful music but dismal lyrics and song titles like \u2018Sucks To Be Human\u2019 and (literally) \u2018The Apocalypse\u2019, the band mentions that a lot of skeleton for the EP was prepared before but it was only during the pandemic that they began to actually flesh it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe pandemic took away all distractions. It made us deep dive into everything. We were isolated together for the first time for so long ever and we were forced to be in a situation that we\u2019ve never been into. It played a huge part in the way we wrote music, the way we produced it. You can\u2019t think about anything else other than the situation you\u2019re in, because it is the most overwhelming feeling, the most overwhelming situation the entire world was consumed in,\u201d singer Josh Fernandez adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also a defining workforce trend of 2021 being called YOLOing (New York Times). The YOLO economy refers to people turning their side hustles into full time jobs, risking stable and cushy jobs for what they <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">want to do. There\u2019s no denying the multiple factors at play. And the likes of Amit Trivedi, Vishal Bhardwaj, and AR Rahman are surely not risking their stable jobs when starting their own music labels, but are seemingly \u201cgoing for it\u201d in a way they hadn\u2019t before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From collaborating to producing to distributing with Boxout.FM Recordings, rapper Alf4zi and producer mor\u00e8no\u2019s track \u2018Ginza\u2019 was made entirely remotely in 2020. And of course, this has been the case around the world. In the times of distancing and isolation, artists were pushed into exploring collaborations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ray Bradbury writes the lines \u201cAll this, this, this, all this\u2013 too much! It cracks the heart! And so? Find Art\u201d in his poem, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have our Arts, so we won\u2019t die of Truth.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That\u2019s why we must think of arts even in times like these. It is clear, in our uncertain world, terrible beauty matters. <\/span><b>Art matters.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re excited to share the second piece from our collaboration with A Humming Heart, an independently run, reader-supported, Indian music publication.
