Center for the Study of Hindu Traditions

A screening of Horn Please, a film documentary by Shantanu Suman- MFA graduate student at UF.

Horn Please is a documentary that encapsulates various aspects of an age-old folk art form of India — the Truck Art, an art form that makes journeys through the dusty highways of India, incredible in more ways than one. With a kaleidoscope of bright paints, motifs, typography and some unique couplets, these Indian trucks take you on a rather colourful journey of diverse cultures and beliefs of the country. The designs painted on the trucks do not merely stand for aesthetic purposes, but they also attempt to depict religious, sentimental, and emotional viewpoints of the people related to the truck industry.

This event is co-sponsored by CHiTra and the UF Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art.
