चांदोबा : A Trip Into The Moon, SOLO EXHIBITION by Roshan Ganu

In May 2022, 2021-21 Resident Artist Roshan Ganu’s solo exhibition चांदोबा : A Trip Into The Moon opened at Second Shift.

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?) 

“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
