The Anchal Post Runners ran with postal bags balanced on their heads and carried a two-foot staff with bells attached. When people heard the bells coming down the road, they made way.
Three artists from Andhra Pradesh explore what it means to belong—to pottery as inheritance, to the endangered Banjara community, to the farmer's cycle that carries dreams.

Tension of Belongings brings together three distinct voices exploring what it means to belong—to a craft, a community, a way of life that the modern world threatens to erase.
For Ponduru Yogeswar Rao, pottery is not just a craft but an identity—his inheritance and inner voice. Through ceramic works, he opens a discourse on tradition and culture while expressing the journeys and challenges he has experienced.
Vaditha Hari Naik, a member of the Banjara community from the Rayalaseema region, highlights the purpose and innocent ways of life of indigenous and migrant families. Within contemporary culture's framework, Banjara traditions are gradually receding under the pressure of modern societal ideas. Her work captures the beauty of Banjara art, culture, ornaments, and the experiences that produced them.
In Gorle Lokesh Kumar's watercolour series, the cycle becomes more than a vehicle—it is a companion in the farmer's daily journey, carrying harvests, dreams, and struggles. It represents not only a physical object but also the invisible bond it shares with its owner.
