Projects

Print Making

This project is directed to explore the possibilities and future of printmaking and setting up a fully functional printmaking setup in IDC, IIT Bombay in order to enable the enthusiasts to express themselves through the feeling of multitude, the core essence of printmaking. Going by the varieties of the printmaking techniques, the knowledgeble ones know that the technical possibilities are unbounded which includes, but not limited to etchings and woodcuts, vinyl graphics, linocuts, lithographs and complicated, conceptually driven projects intended to raise social consciousness. Philosophical questions remain. As new mediums proliferate and lines between genres dissolve, you may wonder if there is any value in maintaining printmaking as a separate artistic category. To answer this question, it is tried in this project to explore the realm of printmaking, as a separate genre of art and art history, as well as the medium through which the artist can probably vent out her/his long due frustration of unfruitful labor, as printmaking comes with the feeling of giving birth, a feeling of long overdue success, of engraving some permanent mark in the roof of the bulldozer of myriad expressions and tools of creativity.

Images Beyond Sight

The project is an attempt to understand the possibilities of visual structure and composition of images photographed by the visually impaired. It also tries to understand the uncharacteristic shooting angles in addition to the objects and the subjects they choose to shoot- to open a window to their rich, fantastic visual world. The documentary film explores the various tactile, audio clues, visual memories of sight, the warmth of light and cognitive skills are used by the visually impaired to create “mental image” before they take judgment to take a picture. They use the camera as an extension of “self” to explore the visual world, gain deeper insight while recording their imagination and their point-of-view. Photography by the visually impaired reveals that a photograph can be made successfully in the mind as much as by the eyes, free from the techniques and rules followed by sighted photographers. It illuminates a new line of thought distinct from the way we approach photography and demands active mental participation of the sighted viewers to understand the experience of expressing a world that is not seen or limitedly seen.
