    Episode 76: Interview of Artist Saloni Parekh

    Dear Friends, Topic: Artist Interview Saloni ParekhTime: July 11th 2026, 2-3 pm Eastern This Saturday, I will be interviewing Indian-American artist Saloni Parekh from her artist residency at Alterworks StudiosWar. Her exhibition Orange Crescent will be on display this weekend.  This exhibition is on view everyday from 12PM-9PM from 6/27/26 until 7/14/26.Please note that the gallery will be closed 7/4 and 7/5. The Orange Crescent imagines a landscape where symbols from South Asian Hinduism and Islam coexist within a shared visual field. Orange and green, markers of religious and political identity, intertwine in harmony while carrying underlying tensions shaped by ideology, history, and belief. A third presence, black, emerges as a force beyond religion. It is a void, a god, or an absence that precedes creation itself. Drawing on game theory, the work views religion as a system of interaction where cooperation, conflict, and power continually reshape collective life. Rather than advocating reconciliation or division, “The Orange Crescent” inhabits the unstable space between them, exploring how faith and politics are negotiated. This body of work and residency was made possible through funding from Oberlin College and the Conservatory of Music. AlterWork Studios is located on the Ground Floor of 40-20 22nd Street, Long Island City, NY 11101. We are located on the west side of 22nd street between 40th and 41st avenues. When arriving, use the black touch screen to the left of the door to ring for AlterWork Studios in the Directory. Once inside, the studio is located down the stairs on the left. As always, our space is open to all sincere seekers and no artistic skill is needed. Also feel free to invite friends. All donations for this month's group event will go toward establishing the IHS Collection at the Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton. This collection is an effort to preserve esoteric wisdom for future generations.
