Musician Ricky Kej talks about his upcoming album, ‘Divine Tides,’ in collaboration with Stewart Copeland
The pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have seen people tapping into their latent talent; Ricky Kej used the time to set his creative ideas to music. “When the pandemic kicked in, I got a break from a very intense touring schedule and was able to give shape to my ideas,” says Ricky, adding, “I sat in my home studio and started recording, honing my songs. I sent them to Stewart Copeland and he loved them.”
The ongoing Print Biennale Exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, unfolds as a journey far beyond India’s borders, tracing artistic lineages shaped by revolution and resistance across Latin America and nNorthern Africa. Presented as a collateral event of the Third Print Biennale of India, the exhibition features a selection from the Boti Llanes family collection, initiated by Dr Llilian Llanes, recipient of Cuba’s National Award for Cultural Research, and curated in India by her daughter, Liliam Mariana Boti Llanes. Bringing together the works of 48 printmaking artists from regions including Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the exhibition is rooted in the socio-political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s. It shows printmaking as both a political and creative tool, with works that weave stories across countries and continents.
