In this issue
This issue, we decided to go with the theme of ‘Tapestry’, where we look at the many different things that come together, in an unhurried manner, to make something that inspires and engages. We look at artist(e)s who stitch together disparate media to tell a story, even if it is of a single experience, thought or impression. And to then see what happens to the nature of dialogue itself when it finds itself in a wide, uncategorised expanse; and to the nature of how we define a community within, and through, the language of the arts.
Amar Kanwar: The Lightning Testimonies And The Sovereign Forest
It starts with a single-channel video, 42 minutes long, that shows the impressive landscapes of Odisha. They are images captured with a poetic sensibility and intimate precision that allow viewers to explore the beauty of these landscapes while simultaneously encouraging reflection: a fisherman casts his net at dusk to the sound of birds and insects; a snaking estuary as it flows out to sea; and the interplay of the different greens of blades of grass and rice.

Fiona Tan: Shadow Archive
In the late 19th century, two young Belgian jurists – Paul Otlet (1868–1944), the father of documentation, and Henri La Fontaine (1854–1943), a Nobel Peace Prize laureate – conceived of a project that sought to gather the world’s knowledge and file it using the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system that they had created.

On Shimmering Air
Artist Sumakshi Singh shares her thoughts about the criss-crossing rivers of time and memory and why the poetry inherent in the act of embroidery is perhaps one way of navigating this space of unknowability

Weaving Histories
The Kashmiri carpet-weaving tradition, introduced to the region around 400 years ago by India’s Mughal rulers, is filled with multiple narrative threads, each bringing its own flavour to a story that continues to be made

An Immersive Experience
Self-taught artist and author, Manish Pushkale lives in his South Delhi home with his studio in the basement of the building. The façade faces the Chor Minar (Tower of Thieves), a 13th century minaret built under the rule of Alauddin Khilji. The backyard of the house shares a wall with a temple. A trustee of the Raza Foundation, Pushkale literally and metaphorically lives between history and religion. We talk to him about his love for the arts and philosophy.

A Single Shade Of Equal
The Aravani Art Project is more than just transgender women painting murals on walls – it is a deeply woven dialogue of equality and experience, bringing a much-needed, warmer, inclusive perspective to sexuality and belonging

The Lost Detail
A village in Odisha, a narrow lane in Srinagar, and the Jal Mahal in Jaipur remind us, in vivid detail, the painstaking slowness of creation and the rich rewards it begets.
