Opening Roots of the Earth at Jhaveri Contemporary — showing new work from People of Clay, drawn from the folk songs and clay traditions of Goalpara, where memory clings to the earth.
Honoured to share the space with the powerful work of Prabhakar Kamble.

Decisive cat moment from the archives. This one from Cairo.

The loom unravels, thread by thread, as dusk swallows the waiting shore.
Beyond the shrine, the sea hums a promise—of return, of forgetting, of Ithaca never quite reached.
Penelope watches, neither weaving nor unwoven, her fingers tracing ghosts in the wind.

Intriguing patterns—possibly the work of termites. Nature’s own abstract art

Curating Archive of Potential (Goan) Futures for the Serendipity Arts Festival has been such a rewarding journey. We’ve reimagined archives—not as dusty records of the past, but as living stories that shape Goa’s future. Can’t wait for you to experience it at the Art Park, Panjim! #SerendipityArts
