Exposure: Vivek Vadoliya
Art director Gem Fletcher speaks to photographer Vivek Vadoliya, whose work examines new ways of looking at British Asian identity, for her latest Exposure column 21/05/2021 7:51 am
Towards the end of Vivek Vadoliya’s film Kala Kala: The Guru of Soho, the short’s colourful protagonist proclaims “life is very simple and gets complicated when you’re not looking within yourself”. These words linger, not for their obvious mindful meme-ability, but for the ways in which they describe the root of Vadoliya’s aesthetic force.
In just a few years, the photographer and director has conjured a portfolio that is deeply personal, technically tight and wrapped in a visual language that is distinctively his own. The work is an invitation into his world, a constellation of fashion, documentary and portraiture that seeks to celebrate the nuances of the Indian diaspora, carefully imagined through his tender and loving gaze.

As widely reported, India is in the midst of a dramatic Covid-19 surge. Having largely reopened in January, the country now has almost 21 million active cases of the virus, with fewer than 10 doctors per 10,000 people, according to the BBC. The situation is made even more disastrous by a pronounced lack of medical oxygen, vaccines, and hospital beds â even as politicians, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, deny any shortages.
In response to the crisis, brand consultant Heta Fell, photographer Vivek Vadoliya, and
Riposte editor Danielle Pender have joined forces to launch Art for India, a sale of works by artists in India and across the diaspora, with all proceeds going to Mission Oxygen, a group of 250 entrepreneurs working to distribute supplies to those in need. âAs the UK (hopefully) emerges from the worst of its own crisis, seeing the news from India has been devastating and deeply affecting for us all,â the group wrote in a press release. â�

India, the world’s second most populous nation, is in the throes of a deadly coronavirus surge that has claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people in just the past 24 hours. And according to reports from the health ministry, the number of daily infections has exceeded 300,000 every day for the past two weeks.
Now, the arts community is rallying to support overwhelmed hospitals facing dire oxygen shortages.
Art for India, which launched earlier this week and runs through May 9, is a grassroots project selling photographic prints for $140 each by 11 artists from India and its diaspora to raise money for the coronavirus relief group Mission Oxygen.
