“SPANDITA MALIK:  MESHES OF RESISTANCE”

For her emotional Jāļī series, named for the Hindi word for “net,” visual artist Spandita Malik photographs Indian women with whom she connected through self-help centers for domestic and gender-based violence. Malik prints the portraits, created in the womens’ homes and personal spaces, onto fabric specific to the region where they live. Afterward, survivors embroider their own portraits, reclaiming their representation and creating an artistic collaboration with Malik. An opening reception will be held on April 5, from 6:30 to 8 pm. Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, 161 Calhoun St. Monday-Saturday, 11am-4pm. Free. (843)953-4422, www.halsey.cofc.edu
