15 May
Summary
- Three artists exhibit diverse mediums, united by themes of memory.
- Works navigate domestic life, ecological systems, and architecture.
- Curator highlights deeper personal experiences driving contemporary art.
The fifth edition of Triloka, an annual exhibition, unites three emerging artists—Moumita Basak, Nayanjyoti Barman, and Nirmal Mondal. This year's exhibition delves into personal and collective experiences, examining how memories are preserved.
Moumita Basak employs embroidery and recycled fabrics, transforming traditional women's craft into meditations on gender and agency in rural West Bengal. Her work reflects the realities of women's lives.
Nayanjyoti Barman explores the intersection of nature, technology, and urban systems. Using paper and sculptural installations from discarded materials, he visually represents ecological imbalance and displacement, inspired by his upbringing near power plants.
Nirmal Mondal, a ceramic artist based in Santiniketan, draws inspiration from Bengal's architectural and spiritual heritage. His terracotta forms reflect inherited stories, faith, and collective memory, often referencing temple and mosque architecture.
Curator Lakshmi Nambiar observed a unifying theme of memory and lived experience across the artists' diverse practices. She highlighted a contemporary artistic shift towards deeply personal explorations of belonging, migration, and the concept of home.
