The exhibition is inspired by a passage from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude where the author describes a bout of amnesia that besets an imaginary village. In an attempt to protect their own knowledge, the villagers begin to label everything, until the activity of archiving every bit of information they can becomes their sole preoccupation. It is already too late when they realise that the words themselves are beginning to look foreign, and that the symbols and sounds that once seemed so perfectly entrenched in their memories are beginning to unhinge. The group exhibition is curated by Avni Doshi and features artists Radhika Khimji, Tushar Joag, Chitra Ganesh, Nalini Malani, Sarnath Banerjee, Adip Dutta, Raghava KK and Tara Kelton. Doshi worked with the artists in depicting how remembering and forgetting are implicit within their different practices.
