In an ever-changing world where identities are both shaped and blurred by societal expectations, Anita Goel’s solo exhibition I Don’t See You at Nitya Artist Centre, Prabhadevi, from September 29 to October 5, 2024, offers a profound exploration of social identity, connection, and disconnection. Curated by Sanjeev Sonpimpare, this exhibition is a thought-provoking reflection on how much of ourselves and others we truly see.

Anita Goel, a London-born, Mumbai-based artist with over 25 years of artistic evolution, brings her experiences, observations, and emotions to life on canvas, confronting the viewer with blank, featureless faces. These faceless images speak volumes through their silence, inviting the audience to question their understanding of identity, perception, and relationships. As Goel explains, “Invisibility is often the most powerful form of existence. It’s not about what we see but what we choose to unsee, what we miss in our everyday encounters that defines our relationships and our sense of self.”
