For Yadava, art is a way of drawing them out, of engaging communities without the preciousness or intimidation associated with galleries and museums. Instigated by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Huq was a way for Yadava to reckon with the court’s draconian decision. With Huq ‘zine workshops in colleges and universities, she is reinvigorating a form of indie artistry in which both beauty and ugly naturally exist side-by-side. Bringing them together, connecting people and ideas through collaboration, is the intersection from which art draws its power. // Hear more about ‘Front Yard' at Ashima Yadava’s artist talk at Chung 24 Gallery on January 31st at 3pm.
