Triumphal Arch (Made in Bengal)

Kour Pour's *Triumphal Arch (Made in Bengal)* (2014) draws on the rich textile traditions of Bengal to reinterpret a classical Western architectural monument, blending Eastern craft with Occidental iconography. The work reflects Pour's ongoing exploration of cultural exchange, colonialism, and the complex layering of histories embedded in decorative and artistic traditions. Through this synthesis, Pour invites viewers to consider how power, heritage, and identity are constructed and contested across cultures.
