ABOUT THE EVENT

On Saturday, the 9th of September, Harkat invites you to be a part of Banal's feverish dreams as we host a retrospective of Kartik Mishra and Sajid Wajid Shaikh's visual and sonic experiments. 

Founded in 2019, Banal's filmography sheds the skin of conventional storytelling to create an amalgamation of paintings and dreams on camera. The duo's consistent incorporation of symbolism, performance art, and fragmented narratives often results in unconventional yet entrancing encounters, delving deep into the human subconscious through intricate and surreal storylines that blur the boundaries between dreams and reality.
