THE WAY OF WATER

Curdi was their home before the river swallowed it. Now, every summer, they return to see the remains of the Goan village that emerge as the water recedes under a hot sun. They clean the ruins and place vessels to symbolically reoccupy their homes. They sing to their land and the waters.

Goan artist Sahil Naik’s installation—All is Water and to Water We Must Return—at the ongoing Kochi-Muziris Biennale in Kerala, is based on this touching tale of displacement and homecoming.

Sahil’s installations explore global conflicts, displacement and the idea of nation-building. His debut solo show in Kolkata, Ground Zero: Site as Witness/Architecture as Evidence (2018), focused on urban displacement and the ways in which modern Indian architecture inadvertently becomes witness to the stories of human generations.
