Nikhil Chopra

He Said She Said presents a special one-night event by Mumbai-based artist Nikhil Chopra. Chopra’s work addresses cultural identity through work that brings together a wide variety of theatrical and visual traditions.

The event continues a series in which Chopra assumes the persona of a Victorian-era figure named Yog Raj Chitrakar, who is loosely based on the artist’s grandfather. The silent and costumed Chopra will remain in character throughout the evening, while preparing and offering an array of food and drink. Video, slides, and sound components will include the video Memory Drawing II (Mumbai 2007) which documents Chopra in character, drawing on the city streets.
