The Root @ Kitsch Bazaar

The Root thanks everyone who braved the lashing rains & flooded streets to make it to the Kitsch Bazaar. Your support & encouragement is overwhelming.

Kitsch has always been a reflection of it’s times. From the psychedelic prints of the flower power era to the punk rock symbols of the 80’s, Kitsch has managed not only to rule the ramps but also make its impression within the art world. In recent times India is waking up to the Kitsch revolution – from the angry young man, ambassador cars, match boxes, Hawaii slippers, nimbu mirchi, patiala peg, madhubala to mumbai’s iconic landmarks – everything is being pimped up with vibrant colors & quirky tag lines – Being Indian was never so “cool”.

Within all of this THE ROOT makes its statement with war n peace graphics, eco-cool messages & an eclectic collection of music & cinema – reflective of the times that we live in… Only thing that the canvas is beyond the country & expands into world affairs – While Hitler, Bush & Osama pop up with their obsession with war – there’s Dylan humming his timeless lines – wondering when will the “Cannonballs be forever banned” ??? & while the Tiger gazes into the uncertain future, there’s the Cree Indian reminding us of his prophecy… Well, quite unintentionally The Root is indeed a part of the kitsch sans the loud burst of Technicolor & with a thought provoking subtle humor.
