Curated by Dr. Rohini Iyengar, the programming departs from passive display models. Exhibitions function as critical laboratories that interrogate received histories, testing how regional South Asian intellectual lineages interface with contemporary planetary concerns.
The December 2026 inaugural presentation at EkChitra Gallery pairs monumental mixed-media canvases with speculative texts, grounding conceptual abstraction within rigorous archival documentation.
Three investigative axes
Consciousness and memory
Examining how neural architecture, personal remembrance, and collective trauma imprint upon material substrates through repetitive gestural mark-making and layered gesso grounds.
Psychological mapping
Translating interior emotional topographies into spatial installations, testing the psychological boundaries between the solitary observer and the institutional enclosure.
The living world
Interrogating ecological entanglement through organic pigments and botanical chemistry, addressing how human psychological structures mirror broader biotic disruption.
Institutional research access
Exhibition schedules, research dossiers, and institutional collaboration requests.
