About
Eight artists from JLN Govt. College of Art, Shimla bring this impossible question to Fort Kochi through videos and cyanotypes—an old photographic process where images emerge in deep Prussian blue, as if surfacing from water or memory.
The pairing is deliberate. Video captures movement, the constant flux of becoming. Cyanotype freezes it—seeds, flowers, gestures pressed into blue like botanical specimens of identity. Together, they hold the tension between who we are and who we're becoming.
Kochi Biennale 2025
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.
