Welcome to Art and Charlie
We are committed to exploring what lies beyond the white cube.
We started as a nomadic gallery that curated shows at different venues across Mumbai, and grew to showcase at Mumbai Gallery Weekend in 2020 alongside more-established art houses. During the pandemic, we pivoted to a fully virtual art platform, and are now transitioning to a gallery space in the heart of Mumbai’s creative consciousness.
Set to open to the public on the 7th of October, our new space in Bandra will showcase exciting contemporary visual artists from across India around the year, as well as experiential interactions.
Preview - 16 March, exhibit ends 20 May 2023
'Dear Tereza...' a solo exhibition by Saviya Lopes
Curatiorial Note by Niccolo Moscatelli
DEAR TEREZA…
Welcome to a house of mothers and daughters, built of care, respect and patient work. It is a house like no other, inhabited only by women and their stories, it is the perfect safe space. It doesn’t present the ambiguity of other houses: it is always kingdom, never prison, always palace of tenderness, never of violence. Here, artist Saviya Lopès speaks to and from the women of her family, her grand-mother, her mother and through them all the others, in an
intergenerational dialogue that holds questions of womanhood, tradition and feminism.
Many conversations have built this place, many words and gestures have been woven into these relationships that Lopès scours, looking for signs of quotidian
resistance. They are kept in a cloth book stitched over 5 years in discussion with her Aaya - her grandmother - the starting point of all this body of work.
