Vivan Sundaram's Last Work Comes to Kochi — Six Stations of a Life Pursued at Biennale 2025
He never saw it installed. The iron cages were built. The actor stepped inside. The photographer shot for hours. But Vivan Sundaram — one of India's most important artists — died on March 29, 2023, before his final work could be shown to the world. Now, that work has come to My Beloved Fort Kochi.
Devassy Jose & Sons — The Kochi Biennale Venue Where Migration, Memory, and Art Collide

Mattancherry Food Walk: A Culinary Journey in Fort Kochi [Feb 13]
If you want to understand the soul of Mattancherry, you don’t look at the maps or blogs; you look at the plates. From the crunch of a Gujarati samosa to the legendary Erachi Choru at Nooriyas, this town is a map of migration you can taste.

Tales From The Table: Peruvian & Mattancherry Food Traditions Meet in Fort Kochi [Feb 4]
In the spice-laden air of Mattancherry, the story of a culture is usually told through what remains in the bottom of a cooking pot. But this Wednesday, the familiar scent of coconut oil and cardamom will face a quiet, revolutionary interloper: the sharp, Andean acidity of a Peruvian kitchen.
A Day at the Paradesi Synagogue
Aleppey's latest expedition — into the heart of Fort Kochi’s purrfound cultural relic: the Paradesi Synagogue.
Our Lands Sing On

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.
