Printing Beyond Borders: Contemporary Indian Prints at Kansas State University
August 13, 2024–May 31, 2025
Charles Stroh, printmaker and former head of the K-State art department, traveled to India twice in the 1980s to learn about contemporary Indian artists active in printmaking. His interviews with them, as well as his residencies at prestigious Indian art schools, established a vibrant cultural network encompassing the Midwest and India. This exhibition features works brought back to Kansas by Stroh and highlights the contributions he made to place Kansas within the global art world.
