The Fourth Moon, 2025 Event title 2
ONGOINGLalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, presented by Gallery Veda
And seeing the full fourth moon up in the sky
I pick it up with the palm of my hand
The water trinkets down like mercury
As I hurry to gulp it down my throat
But as the moon touches the tip of my tongue
It explodes into a million stars
Opening each pore of my body
Twinkling down my spine, Activating each vertebra.

Archetypes, knowledge, wisdom, discretion, liberation, merging of form and sounds.
An essence crossing over from flight to light…
my flight is beyond a zillion skies,
Suns moons and stars
I ride the waves of wind and water
I dive deep beneath the earth finding the worlds of earth and skies
No different from the world above or from the world within.
In Silence the Secrets Speak
Seema Kohli, May 6, 2015
Seema Kohli (b.1960), a multidisciplinary artist, delves into the realms of myth and fantasy through an eco-feminist lens. Her work, which spans both visual and performative mediums, explores the themes of beauty and sensuality as they resonate across philosophical and spiritual traditions. Kohli primarily celebrates the cosmic feminine and its intricate relationship to the forces of creation and destruction, she seeks to create new artistic identities by reimagining belongings.
Through processes of decay, hybridization, and transformation, she bridges the past and the present, inviting a dialogue between the two. Kohli's works live in multiple museums and institutional collections all over the world, including the British Museum (UK) , Museum of Art and Photography (India) , Partition Museum , Kiran Nadar Museum of Arts (India) , Birth Rites Collection (UK) , Rubin Museum (USA) , to name a few.
