Rummana Hussain (1952 – 1999) was an artist and one of the pioneers of conceptual art, installation, and politically-engaged art in India.
In response to the communal violence in Ayodhya in 1992, as well as to Rummana’s sudden exposure to ideological assault as a Muslim, Hussain’s art not only became more explicitly political as well as personal, but it moved away from traditional media towards installation, video, photography, and mixed-media work.
Rummana Hussain’s installation ‘Space for Healing’ attempts to forge an acceptable future out of a difficult past, by creating a metaphoric healing space that is a ‘hospital’ for the body and a ‘mosque’ for the soul.
