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.
Puwali means ‘kid’ in its simplest, clearest form—the moment something begins to exist. A seed breaking open. A habitat forming. A life emerging.

About
Puwali – Play to Plant highlights how important these early moments are. Even the smallest start sets something real in motion. Every seed, every beginning, carries its own future.
Fathima Hamdah and Kishan Jangde from the National Institute of Design look at beginnings through the lens of forests and shared ecosystems. Through visual storytelling and hands-on workshops, they connect every new life to the world around it.
A playful, participatory work that reminds us: everything starts somewhere small.
