The St. Inez Creek, a vital part of Panjim’s water drainage system, is undergoing a massive transformation. To help restore this precious estuarine ecosystem, a series of ‘Floating Gardens’ is proposed along its length. This will help in revitalizing the local biodiversity by providing an anchorage and a shelter for the indigenous flora and fauna. These Floating Gardens are part science experiment in creating regenerative habitats and part artistic endeavour in creating objects of aesthetic and natural beauty.

Orientalist Archives: Indo-British Painting in Colonial India (Company School Painting from the Swaraj Archive)
The defining facet of this exhibition is to contextualise the Company School paintings within the emergent Indo-British visual culture of the 18th and 19th centuries, largely reflecting an orientalist stance. With their exposure to new lessons in realism, local artists, patronised by the British settlers, evolved a hybrid stylistic idiom, marked by vestigial chiaroscuro, creating a menagerie of images depicting themes from Hindu mythology as well as stereotyped and exoticised Indian communities. The Company School developed a visual census of the people of India, typified by naivety and dramatisation with a tinge of sarcasm.
Project By Svaram
Space expresses itself through energy and atmosphere, through moving vibrations and frequencies, through sounds heard and unheard. Svaram explores and creates such soundspaces through conscious application, configuration and composition of sounds. The Sound Garden by Svaram is a project that invites the visitors into a specialized and dedicated environment by bringing together the need for recreation, easy learning and active participation through the creative component of exploratory and interactive musical play.
Project By Svaram
Svaram’s Sound Journey workshop provides a novel experience of heightened, synaesthetic perception of the immediate impact of sound vibrations on the body and its more subtle layers. The direct tactile impact of the sound vibrations create a deep state of relaxation. The aim and natural result of a sound jourmey session is to support the recepient in a state of deepened awareness, which brings refreshing rest, naturally stimulating homeostatic, self healing capacities and offers the opportunity of balancing the system through a shift and realignment.

Project By Pritish Bali and Anu Bali
‘Homemakers’ is a collaboration between Pritish Bali, and his mother Anu Bali, a homemaker . Realised through the Serendipity Arts Virtual Grant 2021, the project was churned out of a mix of memories and daily updates of Anu Bali incessantly working over the years. Initially conceptualised as a website, the interface has interactive sections that aim to sensitise the audience towards the arduous life enforced upon/adopted by a homemaker as well as the growing gender gap in unpaid domestic and care work.

codified space? And what happens when some bodies do not wish defy the rules? Does anybody ever just ‘witness’? Does the act of witnessing translate into another act of obedience? What prompts people to resist? What prompts people to obey?
