The exhibition projects culture, language, and events from what has been considered the "fringes" of the world, and brings them into dialogue with the cosmopolitan centre, albeit with a minor note that has the potential of unravelling the centrality of the centre itself. The digital paintings, sketches and writings, along with photographs, focusing on the life, belief-systems, and bhakti-sufi culture of North India centred around the river 'ghats' and sufi shrines, bring out the fragmented realities across the world into a temporary whole that is stitched together into a minor cosmopolitan framework. The exhibition features original digital artworks, sketches, writings, and art panels from our graphic novel, "Travelling Through Tilisms: A Surrealist Travelogue".
