It’s officially summer, friends. And where better to spend those dog days than lounging around a grassy knoll, swatting bugs and squinting in the afternoon sun? This is a show dedicated to that very seasonal pursuit, both its languid joys and its tinge of melancholy. We’ll almost ask, is Summer a time for relaxation or revolution? What will the hot weather bring us? Can we bliss out f’days, to take a page from Laraaji?
