New York-based artist Zarina Hashmi's show of Weaving Memories at Bodhi Art Gallery has works that are as moving as they are subtle. They are minimalist without being abstract and discernible elements are executed as poetic and poignant narratives.

They speak eloquently of transient homes and lost homelands of this transitional artist. An outstanding work at the show is titled Home is a Foreign Place - 1997, comprising 36 wood cuts. 

It comprises elements such as the earth and sky in the form of mandalas, language in the form of musical bars, as also time, fragrance, dust and despair. The show has been sensitively hung by Bodhi and is not to be missed.
