The name “Kanchan,” which means “gold,” also refers to Mount Kangchenjunga of North India, the third tallest mountain in the world. Wali-Richardson’s artwork ranges from videos inspired by the mystic poetry of Kabir and the Ganges River to sculptures and drawings in response to Virginia Woolf’s writings to inter-species performances with boa constrictors.
