Where Shall We Go from Here?

A talk session by Sharbendu De, moderated by Akansha Rastogi


Part of: The Elemental You exhibition

Date: 7 Nov 24

Time: 6.00pm – 7.00pm

Venue: KNMA Saket

Facilitated By

What to Expect

As we find ourselves imprisoned in these technocratic ravaged landscapes— breathing polluted air, drinking poisoned water and eating hormone-injected and chemical-sprayed food—we find ourselves prisoners of our own making. Interact with artist Sharbendu De as he parses this existential anthropogenic decay and considers the future with his work.
