Suchitra Mattai: Monster

Unit London presents a solo exhibition from Suchitra Mattai, titled Monster and curated by Rebecca Hart. For her debuting exhibition at the gallery Mattai employs memory, myth and fantasy to unravel historical narratives and shine a light on the struggles of those affected by social and cultural bias.

In her multidisciplinary practice Mattai works with textile installation, tapestry, cutout and portraiture as a way to visualise the multiple cultural spheres that she inhabits as an artist of Indo-Caribbean descent. In this exhibition, Mattai explores the way in which society alienates immigrants and people with a mental illness, by “monstering” them.
