A warm kind of panic
The rug extends a muted invitation, asking the body to settle within its folds. Monika traces the quiet turbulence of everyday life—frictions, doubts, and the comforting panic of solitude.
The Power of the Peta / Honour
The Peta (turban) and Mancha (rope bed)—two objects that carry a farmer's life. When the turban is placed on the bed, it signifies rest, grueling work completed, earned repose.
Ginning Justice
Phule-Ambedkarite sculpture, Mumbai housing installations, Manchester cloth histories—three artists uncover Maharashtra's intertwined histories of labour, community, and resistance.
Achidu
Pork fat melts, echoing jhum traditions. Fabric clouds release crystal bead rain—tears. Two Arunachal Pradesh artists explore how time erodes memory and meaning, how relief and pain blend.
Seeds of Continuity
Touch grains. Smell straw. Witness cooking. Six Odisha artists reconstruct rural hearths, asking: what seeds of culture do we carry forward? A living archive of food sovereignty and ecological wisdom.
Army Of Ants
Dried leaves become cockroaches. Fish thorns transform into Venus flytraps. Sharan B works with overlooked materials to explore life, death, memory, and the beauty hidden in ordinary things.
Jogammas
The Jogappas of Northwest Karnataka—a transgender community devoted to Renuka Yellama—come alive in Banashree Vagga's acrylic paintings celebrating their music, dance, and miracles.
Jirania
A National Highway cuts through Tripura's agrarian landscape. Priti Das and Bipasha Debnath document the dust, demolition, and topsy-turvy lives of Jirania's residents caught in years of transformation.
Fish
A Kashmiri fish swims through myth and militarization. Salman Khursheed Lone's animation intertwines folklore, sacred ponds, concertina wires, and the endurance of living under occupation.
Follow The Crowd
Driftwood and palm leaf figures at windows, facing the sea—Raj Mahanand explores how identity is never fixed, always shifting between crowds, expectations, and desires.
Between Despair and Renewal
Between despair and renewal: a charcoal self-portrait dissolving in loneliness, landscape paintings shifting toward light. Rakesh Y.M. holds both truths—isolation and resilience.
Death Circle
Time leaves traces in subtle ways—aging, dissolving, eroding. Krishna Murthy P S works with seeds, spines, and soil to explore cycles of growth, dissolution, and return.
Queering Spaces/Queering Gazes
Play with the dolls. Move them around. Three Kerala artists transform intimate spaces into sites of queer inquiry—fabric tents of chosen family, playgrounds beyond the binary, and self as subject.
Seeking Intimacy
Vivid palette, surreal dreamscapes, queer lovers in everyday moments—Shakibul Islam etches the portrait of the queer family into contemporary Indian life's visual language.
The house that remembers
Termite traces, sawdust figures, cow dung and plastic—four artists gather what is often discarded, assembling a slow archive of impermanence that refuses disappearance.
The Mark of a Shift
Five artists from Santiniketan explore how 'shift' pushes all things into existence—the human desire to shape land, the resistance faced, and the traditions born of negotiation.
In(visible)habiting
Through spectral architecture of transparent layers and shifting shadows, Honey Thomas makes visible the unseen nature of domestic life—the labour, presence, and time embedded in home.
நகவெட்டி nagavetti
Challenging medicalized notions of queer transitioning, anu's sound installation explores transwomanhood through self-made instruments, nail-cutting, and defretted guitars.
