Special Events:
Opening night – conversation with collaborators: Fri 22 Sep, 6.30 PM
This project has two parts. The first involves collages created from archived family images before l left India in October 2020. It revolves around monologues with aphorisms from popular culture, delving into heritage and trauma with humour. They explore fears, tears, masculinity and my thoughts, often conveying them in dryly.
Looking at the images evoked a visceral sense of nostalgia and revealed how the memory of these images changed over time.
Coming to the second part of it, a video installation ‘Home’ which is an experimental performance film exploring notions of ‘Home,’ ‘Identity,’ and ‘Nostalgia,’ through symbolic objects and imagery to convey human experience in foreign lands where ‘mobility becomes reality.
