चांदोबा’, pronounced Chandoba, is an affectionate way of addressing the Moon in Marathi, mainly present in a popular nursery rhyme ‘चांदोबा चांदोबा भागलास का?’ (Dear Moon, have you run away?)

We invite you to the opening reception of Resident Artist Roshan Ganu’s exhibition ‘चांदोबा : A Trip Into The Moon’ on May 21, 2022, between 6–8 pm. New video work by the artist created during the past year at the residency, will be on display.

“The Moon reflects light, is a symbol of routine, of being grounded and somebody I can depend on. Chandoba is hope and it has been a mesmerizing presence and a grounding force during times of isolation as a foreigner during the Minnesotan Winter, in times before and during the pandemic.”

–Roshan Ganu
