This monograph of Indian artist Nalini Malani was published in conjunction with her solo exhibition
 'Nalini Malani: Listening to the Shades' held at Arario Gallery, New York from September to October 2008.
 
Nalini MALANI, as one of India's current leading artists, utilizes paintings, wall drawings, video installations and shadow play to discuss and confront the endless conflicts sparked between religious and ethnic groups.
 
This gilt-edged artist's book by the celebrated Indian artist Nalini Malani was inspired by the writings of the German critic and novelist Christa Wolf on the ancient Greek myth of Cassandra. Through more than 40 exquisitely reproduced images, Malani retells this story from the perspective of the unheard woman whose insights are constantly ignored or relegated to heresy.
