CHENNAI: In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Raw Mango, in collaboration with Squadron 14, presents Common Nouns, an exhibition that brings together 15 digital artworks by some of the most exciting artists shaping contemporary visual culture. The exhibition, which will run from December 20 to December 31 at Raw Mango’s Chennai showroom, explores the intricate blend of the modern and the ancient that defines the brand’s ethos. Raw Mango, founded by textile pioneer Sanjay Garg, has long been driven by a curiosity about the cultural movements that shape our values, identities, and systems.
The exhibition Common Nouns continues this exploration by focusing on how cultural narratives evolve and how their meanings, status, and ownership are continually renegotiated.
