Nunu Fine Art New York is pleased to present “Until Harvest”, Purvai Rai’s first solo exhibition with the gallery as part of our “Project Space: Asian Voices "program.
Delhi-based multimedia artist Purvai Rai’s (b.1994) practice is deeply connected to her ancestral land in Punjab. Her interest in ecologies, community, architecture, orality, and land is not just academic but deeply personal.
She is committed to absorbing the essence of her generational land, family stories, and their living archive to unearth the transformative power of traditional knowledge systems and community collaborations. Her work delves into the themes of memory, identity, and materiality, which are intricately woven into her land's (contemporary and historical) socio-political, cultural, and spatial realities. Rai’s work reflects the fragmentation of this land and the psycho-spiritual and imaginative landscapes that emerge from exploring placemaking through an auto-ethnographic lens while navigating the complex histories of colonialism, feudalism, and capitalism.

路由藝術紐約 榮幸呈現「直到豐收」,這是印度藝術家普瓦伊·萊在紐約的首次個展,也是我們 「計畫空間:亞洲之聲」 系列的一部分。
德里出身的複合媒材藝術家普瓦伊・萊 (1994年生),其創作深植於旁遮普的祖傳土地。她對生態、社群、建築、口述傳統與土地的關注不僅停留於學術層面,還蘊含濃厚的個人情感。
她致力於吸收這片世代相傳土地的精髓,挖掘家族故事及其生活檔案,並揭示傳統知識體系與社群合作的轉化力量。她的作品探討記憶、身份和物質性的主題,將這些元素複雜地交織於家鄉從古至今的社會政治、文化和空間現實中。透過自我民族誌的視角,她探索場域營造中的精神與心理層面,並在殖民、封建與資本主義的複雜歷史背景下,捕捉出想像中的景觀,映射出這片土地的破碎性。
