You’ve just missed it — take it home anyway

The 2025–26 Biennale ended on 31 March 2026. The next is expected around December 2027. We made a book of all 72 exhibits, venue by venue, with the photographs — 76 pages, 9 MB.

We email you the book. Nothing else.

Sites like the Musi River in Hyderabad—choked with waste, bearing the weight of negligence—become the setting for a post-human vision where non-human entities inherit what we leave behind.

Artists

Dindi Praveen Sagar (Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University, Hyderabad)

Medium

Pen on paper, mixed media on mdf, Oil on Canvas, Terracotta

A mixed-media collage mounted on a wall, featuring a large off-white central panel with irregular cutouts and layered paper elements. On the left, a structure made of corrugated brown material and textured strips forms a stepped, architectural shape with small rectangular inserts and a white triangular form at its base. The central area contains intricate black-and-white drawings of branching, web-like patterns, some enclosed within geometric frames, alongside torn photographic fragments and abstract shapes. A small, box-like object resembling a vintage television sits in the lower right corner, displaying a dark screen with a red element. The composition combines flat surfaces, raised elements, and varied textures across a single plane.

About

Sites like the Musi River in Hyderabad—choked with waste, bearing the weight of negligence—become the setting for a post-human vision where non-human entities inherit what we leave behind.

Dindi Praveen Sagar presents a series of works—Earth’s Last Stand, Restricted Terrain, and untitled pieces—that interrogate the consequences of capitalism and overconsumption. The Musi River, deteriorating under urbanization and pollution, becomes his dystopian focus.

Through drawings, paintings on canvas, and terracotta sculptures, Dindi frames human activity as destructive. Abstract figures, evocative of alien life or skeletal remains, function as metaphors for environmental reclamation.

What lingers is the question he poses: in the ruins we create, what new life might emerge?
