Annual Exhibition 2023-24
Fabulations
Fabulations exhibits ten years of contemplation and riyaz at SEA drawing new contours and lines of conversation between diverse works while fabulating new possibilities to conceptualise and inhabit space. The exhibition is an invitation to visit, occupy, inhabit, play, read, make notes, debate, speculate and entangle oneself in the circuits of what it means to think of architecture from its multiple dimensions. Through these multiple forms of occupancy, Fabulations invites participants from all walks of life to engage with SEA’s works and build a conversation between those who imagine and those who produce spaces of inhabitation.

Earthworms dance, Elephants fly, Impossible assemblages do impossible things; Machines are made to punish loved ones
Drawings become means to draw the contours of deep relationships; it matters if these are faint, indeterminate, unending entangled, muddy, fuzzy or giant maps that one can walk on
Buildings are cooked, Objects, Spaces, Concepts, Experiences, and Relationships converge
Architectural type traces the contours of space as it shapes behaviour and creates affordances
What is a School? What is a Home? What is a Library? What is a Clinic? What is a Museum?
Diverse lives and environmental flows entangle to create space
Detail and Making coalesce
House becomes home
We dance with the rhythms of cities and their occupancies
Occupation turns into inhabitation
Contact with the world
Repairing life

In this talk, Shrimanti shall discuss how in her art practice, drawing becomes a tool to unravel images and develop layered story structures with references from a range of sources like history, literature, mythology, science fiction, comic books, art history, miniature paintings, news reports, as well as memory, conversation and personal experiences. As an artist working majorly in the medium of drawing and painting; she shall share images of large scale drawing based works on paper and elaborate on the references in them, the process of making and the thematic implications that they may have as contemporaneous, layered narratives.
