How the Edam exhibition is giving ‘edam’, or space, to Kerala’s women artists

The article reports on 'Edam', a collateral exhibition of the Kochi Muziris Biennale curated by Aishwarya Suresh and KM Madhusudhanan. Featuring 36 Malayali artists, the show consciously avoids stereotypical depictions of women as confined to home and family. Instead, it highlights deeply personal works by women artists such as Priti Vadakkath, Indu Antony, Nithya AS, and Devika Sundar, whose art reflects their individual struggles and lived experiences. The curators also faced challenges including financial constraints, spousal opposition, and helping recent art graduates gain confidence to articulate their work.

Woman whose botched Jesus fresco became a viral sensation dies, aged 94

Cecilia Giménez Zueco, the Spanish woman whose botched 2012 restoration of a 19th-century fresco of Jesus Christ became a global internet sensation, has died at age 94. The fresco, *Ecce Homo* by Elias Garcia Martinez, was housed in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza.

Alcea Gallery opened in October at 7512 Madison St. in Forest Park, Illinois, owned by Summer Lambert, a former corporate marketer who turned to freelance marketing and decided to launch her own gallery after years of being rejected from museum and gallery jobs for lacking an art background.

She launched with her personal collection and has since received interest from artists in Forest Park, Oak Park, and as far as Florida, though she notes a deficit of buyers rather than artists.
