A pop-up exhibit honoring South Asian genderqueer expression and sisterhood through the metaphor of braids.

This multimedia piece is both a love letter to queer identity and to the long braided tresses that have so long been synonymous with South Asian femininity, with the goddess-- a gilded cage, or a reclaimed adornment? How does femininity transform as it passes through different people's hands? 

Riya Devi-Ashby was born in 2001 in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 2023, she received her BA in Studio Art from Wesleyan University with a concentration in painting and mixed media installation. As an emerging artist, Devi-Ashby has already been featured in juried group exhibitions such as “Creative Confluences” at Towson University and “Intricate Layers” at Motor House, and she completed her first solo exhibition ‘Veni, an Unweaving’ in 2023. She is also classically trained in Kuchipudi dance by guru Nilimma Devi, and her extensive performing experience informs her visual art practice.
