Banerjee’s works delve into the multifaceted nature of her British Bengali identity, shaped by her experiences growing up in England during the 1980s. This backdrop provides a rich tapestry for examining the layers of cultural dissonance and hybridity that define her perspective.

In Jalsaghar, Debjani Banerjee has embraced her interest in participatory art practices by collaborating with several artists and contributors. Bernie Reid, Marta Aspe, Susmita Pujara, and Kavi Pujara have all played significant roles in the creation of various aspects of the exhibition. This collaborative approach is central to Banerjee’s work, emphasising community involvement and the blending of different artistic perspectives.

Jalsaghar was originally commissioned by CCA Glasgow where it was presented in 2024.

Join on Friday 28 February (6-9pm) for the Jalsaghar opening event.

On Saturday 1 March (12-1pm) Debjani Banerjee will be in conversation with Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s Curator of Research, Dan Brown.
