Minam Apang

Over the last fifteen years Minam Apang’s practice has primarily focussed on painting, increasingly utilising charcoals, and has often engaged with myths and stories that originate from North East India. She has had multiple solo exhibitions at Chatterjee & Lal, Mumbai. In 2012, the artist was selected for ‘The Ungovernables’, a major triennial curated by Eungie Joo, at the New Museum, New York and was a part of the Asia Pacific Triennial, Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.
