New commission

shemza.digital #17 (Ghanta Ghar, Sardar Market, Jodhpur) for Jodhpur Arts Week 1.0

Aphra Shemza’s site-specific installation merges the abstract art of her grandfather, Anwar Jalal Shemza (1928–1985) with her own contemporary digital practice. Inspired by Islamic architecture and the traditional jaali or perforated stone lattices characteristic of Indo-Islamic architecture, Shemza fuses inherited forms with local geometry sourced from Sardar Market and Ghanta Ghar itself.

Commissioned by the Public Arts Trust of India with support from British Council India and curated by Sakhshi Mahajan.
