Favorites from Kochi-Muziris Biennale
Venue: Devassy Jose & Sons
Slide 3: @shivay_la_multiple Shivay La Multiple traces the quiet journeys of a plant that refuses to stay in one place. Through materials drawn from land and water, the work asks us to look closer at what arrives, why it stays, and what its presence is trying to tell us.
0The artist asks us ‘What are we meant to understand from it’s presence? Is it here to remind us of the imporatance of the waters?’
Slide 4&5: Si tú te vas” by Andrés Khamis Giacoman & Francisca Khamis Giacoman traces the invisible journeys of textiles, labor, and memory.
Rooted in Chile’s textile industry and its ties to Palestinian communities and further back to India, where cotton begins. The work speaks of displacement, waiting, and suspended time. What we hear is memory that’s beautifully taunting.
An echo of labour, waiting, and lives that were here before.
