WASI SANI
Chequita Nahar
In the exhibition WASI SANI in Museum Arnhem, Chequita Nahar explores the different ways we wash ourselves and the world around us, and the role objects and language play in this process. The exhibition consists of both old and new work by Chequita Nahar. In addition, she has asked jewellery designer Luisa Kuschel to create new work that fits the theme.
