 riting workshop to accompany our current Beauty and the Beasts exhibitio
 n.\n\nAlso joining us will be a special guest\, Dr Walther\, discussing 
 research on Otherworlds: Animal Beauty in Contemporary Indian Art\n\n\nF
 or contemporary Indian artists\, the megacity defines the experience of 
 life in their nation. In this talk\, Dr Sundhya Walther discusses the wo
 rk of visual artists who use animal figures to introduce utopian possibi
 lities.  \nThese animals create “otherworlds” by offering a vision of th
 e world as we know it that is somehow both plausible and ordinary\, and 
 yet totally alien.  Animal beauty in visual art exposes a world-to-come 
 that exists within the world as we know it\, even if only in fleeting bu
 t powerful moments of sight. \nThese artists reach into a remembered pas
 t of multispecies community\, and discover\, in this memory\, the utopia
 n potential of a future based on alternative modes of living together as
  species in an increasingly precarious world.\nDr Sundhya Walther is a P
 residential Academic Fellow in the Department of English\, American Stud
 ies and Creative Writing at the University of Manchester. Her work focus
 es on multispecies living in contemporary South Asia and the South Asian
  diaspora.\n\n\n
