DESCRIPTION:Presenting the film by this name\, produced by Radhika Bordia a
 nd co-directed by M. Habib Ali and Kaushik Kumar Jha\, followed by a discu
 ssion led by Professor Emerita Susan Wadley.Since the mid-to-late 1970s\, 
 Dalit communities in Mithila (N. Bihar\, India) have used styles and subje
 ct matter distinct to their own indigenous traditions to create art vastly
  different in style and subject matter to the widely known Mithila art mad
 e by high caste artists.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The screening of this video documen
 tary created to accompany the first international exhibition devoted to th
 e art of Mithila’s Dalit artists\, currently at Radford University\, will 
 be followed by a discussion\, including slide-projected examples of Mithil
 a art&nbsp\; now in Syracuse University's permanent collection.&nbsp\;Prof
 essor Wadley\, a faculty member at Syracuse U. since 1970\, focused her re
 search over the years on rural India\, especially rural Uttar Pradesh. But
  in the early 2000s\, intrigued by SU Art Museum’s extensive collection of
  early Mithila art from rural Bihar\, she turned her attention &nbsp\;to u
 nderstanding its changes in style and subject matter after its transfer fr
 om clay walls to paper in the late 1960s. With this presentation\, she piv
 ots our attention to Dalit art from the same locales\, art that provides s
 ignificant stylistic and topical contrast to the older and dominant high c
 ate tradition. Dalit art is based on distinctive religious beliefs and tra
 ditions that are clearly revealed in their art.
