Introduction | Exhibition Review | The Rama Epic Exhibition

Drawing Rama

The Ramayana has been interpreted in every artistic medium high and low, and for decades has sparked the imagination of countless devotees through classic, cliff-hanger comics. In keeping with this tradition, the Asian Art Museum has invited five local illustrators to re-imagine the main characters in their own visual storytelling styles. This “Drawing Rama” project is an opportunity for the museum to make a unique addition to the Rama epic’s cartoon canon, one that highlights the story’s enduring ability to excite kids, kids- at-heart, as well as working artists of every stripe.
