RAM Documentary | Shubigi Rao: These Petrified Paths

Shubigi Rao: These Petrified Paths is organized by the Rockbund Art Museum and curated by X Zhu-Nowell, Artistic Director, with Karen Wang, Curatorial Assistant and Researcher. The exhibition was held at RAM, Shanghai, from November 8, 2023 to February 25, 2024.
Known for her first solo exhibition in China and ten-year projects that manifest in film, books, drawing, photographs, etchings, and installations with discarded items and archives, Shubigi Rao considers both present-day and historical subjects, offering alternate viewpoints on contemporary displacement - be it of peoples, languages, cultures, or realms of knowledge. Her work offers a poetic, incisive, and humorous critique of the problematic narrative of civilizations and the western knowledge systems that shape our existence.
