An exhibition of artworks that invokes our relationship to reading and remembering as collective acts of resistance. The title of the show is inspired from a verse by poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz written during his imprisonment in Montgomery Central Jail in Pakistan. The show highlights the different surfaces and materials on which memories, traces, imprints and songs reside, inviting us to think about how we spread them further.
Curated by Sabih Ahmed, the exhibition features works from the Prabhakar Collection by artists Anju Dodiya, Astha Butail, Neha Choksi, Praneet Soi and Sunil Padwal, and a new commission of a performance-installation by Inder Salim that expands the exhibition into a space of readings, recitals, inscriptions and annotations.
