RITUALISING THE DISFIGURED: MEMORIALS OF HEALING FROM SRI LANKA | CHATHURI NISSANSALA 12 AUGUST - 12 SEPTEMBER 2021For her recent body of works, Chathuri steps into the shoes of an archaeologist scavenging for overlooked, discarded and disfigured figurines of idols at various locations in Sri Lanka that have witnessed mass acts of violence. Her reinterpretation of these material remains from Kochchikade, Dehiwela, Jaffna, Biyagama, Wattala and Kelaniya, sites marked as popular destinations of dark tourism, raise poignant questions about the politics involved in their commodification and mass subversion of the truth.

THE MOON BEARER: A NEW SAGA | ABHISHEK NARAYAN VERMA 16 SEPTEMBER - 16 OCTOBER 2021The Moon Bearer: A New Saga underlines the existential concerns of the artist’s lived experiences during the initial lockdown of 2020. Narayan's isolated monologue spirals into multiple experiences from his childhood, leading to a complex assemblage of visuals. Dressed in a trouser and a shirt that could identify the character with any middle-class man in an office, he represents our collective consciousness, desires and flaws, making him a universal average Joe. His misfortunes entangle him in whimsically absurd situations, citing a candid satire on the real world and its problems. By bringing together elements of myth and reality, the artist creates a dialogue filled with humor and irony in these works.
