When you are born with generations of multiple heritages it can create a fusion of ideas to explore, as well as memories, myths and traditions. Artist <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Suchitra Mattai has done just that by honouring the traditions going back to her great grandmother in her new show &#8216;Monsters&#8217; at Unit London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Multimedia Indo-Caribbean artist Suchitra Mattai\u2019s exhibition Monster will open at Unit London on 11 January, with a new body of work that explores the social, emotional and political significance of material-based practices in relation to those who find themselves culturally \u201cothered\u201d, through displacement, migration or mental health challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Works are multi-facets materials embroidered and trimmed together to create colourful powerful canvases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-a.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-a.jpg?resize=580%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-a.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-a.jpg?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-a.jpg?resize=768%2C536&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Bodies and souls 2021 <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Suchitra Mattai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Guyana and currently based in Denver in the United States, Mattai has previously lived in Canada, India, France and in various states across the US. The descendant of indentured labourers, her great grandparents were brought to work on sugar plantations beginning in the late 19th Century from India. Using a craft traditionally dismissed as \u201cwomen\u2019s work\u201d, Mattai reminds us of its significance in relation to \u201cothered\u201d communities: the disenfranchised, migrants, the historically silenced female and the mentally ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Mattai is a multimedia artist, her embroidery works to honour the practices of her female ancestors as well as the craft techniques taught to her as a child by her grandmother, who was herself a seamstress. Incorporating found or pre-existing materials, fabrics and furniture, combined with the embroidery and needlework skills she initially learned as a child define her current practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-b-.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-b-.jpg?resize=580%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-b-.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-b-.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-b-.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/> Foreigner 2021 Suchitra Mattai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In the pursuit of what has traditionally been viewed as \u201clow art\u201d, Mattai follows in the footsteps of the Godmother of feminist art, Judy Chicago. Chicago collaborated with a team of seamstresses to integrate needlework into her artworks since the late 1970s which culminated in the now-legendary <em>Dinner Party. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Mattai too like her godmother highlights othered narratives and the dark legacy of colonialism via the cultural significance of textiles and quilting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-c-.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-c-.jpg?resize=580%2C451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-c-.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-c-.jpg?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/monsters-sew-exhibition-c-.jpg?resize=768%2C598&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Past thoughts future actions Suchitra Mattai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">As an art form, fibre-based practices have been overshadowed by painting, sculpture and architecture. A vivid feminine, feminist presence strongly imbues her work, which is unsurprising given that Mattai says she is particularly interested in excavating the buried stories of women. What with women having been historically dealt the most challenging circumstances and continuing to encounter and overcome numerous obstacles, Mattai deliberately focuses on highlighting female narratives, the ancestral thread and her stories in her body of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Mattai\u2019s personal experience of mental health challenges combined with a somewhat nomadic journey has fuelled her insight into the way in which society \u2018others\u2019, particularly immigrants and the mentally ill.&nbsp; \u201cI always felt like I was Bipolar,\u201d she reflects. \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t talked about in my Indo-Caribbean childhood. I thought about retelling the story of my own family and the alienation that followed through to my own mental health. I decided I wanted to create an exhibition that made space for these parallels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Curator Rebecca Hart (previously Modern and Contemporary Art Curator for the Denver Art Museum) says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"> <em><strong>\u201cFor Suchitra Mattai, memory, myth, and fantasy provide a platform to explore lived experience in all of its rich guises.&nbsp;She invites us to explore our own monsters, especially how we are involved with othering and mental health metrics.
