Riyaz and Aman work on manjarpat—raw muslin cloth that once symbolised colonial resistance and labour struggles. Today, this humble fabric becomes their canvas for memory and meaning.
Riyaz stitches and paints, telling stories of Indian farmers. His layered garments speak of land struggles, dignity, and the weight carried by rural communities. Aman weaves tales from his grandmother's memories, exploring generational loss through thread and pigment.
Their collaboration feels like two rivers meeting—different currents, same ocean.
The Students' Biennale, running alongside the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, has always been a space where tomorrow's artistic giants take their first bold leaps. This year's edition brings together young artists from art schools across India—each with stories that demand to be heard.
