Presenting 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘼𝙙𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 by Sumakshi Singh.
"Preservation, mourning, and reimagination gently converged into something like slow, repeated acts of love."
33 Link Road, New Delhi. Her grandparents built it after Partition. Her mother was born there. Her grandfather died there. Before its demolition, she visited with a sketchbook and a measuring tape, touching every surface, listening to how each detail wanted to be translated into thread. What stands in the Arsenale today is what she made instead of letting it disappear.
Curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer, 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚: 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 brings together the works of Alwar Balasubramaniam, Asim Waqif, Ranjani Shettar, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Sumakshi Singh, reflecting on material, memory, and lived experience through distinct artistic practices.
Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and the Serendipity Arts Foundation, the National Pavilion of India is now open at the Arsenale di Venezia for the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia.
