Julia C. Butridge Gallery Exhibit: The Other Side

The Other Side 
Meena Matai 
March 18 – May 20, 2023 

Meena Matai's exhibition, "The Other Side," is a powerful exploration of the personal stories and emotions of her family and millions of others who were affected by the India-Pakistan partition of 1947. Through her paintings, she brings to life the experiences of the refugees who found themselves on the wrong side of the divide and the lasting impact this event has had on the lives of over ten million Indians and Pakistanis. As we mark 75 years since the partition, this exhibition serves as a poignant reminder of memories that are at risk of being forgotten and an important call to foster positive connections and build a supportive community.
