Overview
Mapping Memories is a project born out of my passion for travel. The artists travel through areas that are melting pots of civilization to imbibe and penetrate the local cultural fabric to track down signs, forms and materials that have survived modernity and that, in some way, constitute fertile ground for expanding the artistic practices. The artists also interact with the local arts communities – folk indigenous and contemporary and further their understanding of cultures.
This project is in the interest of bringing into research contexts and vocabularies that allow an expansion of artistic practices. The participants also interact with the local arts community and interact with them by giving a slide show of their practice.
Exhibiting artists- were Amit Ambalal, Anjolie Ela Menon, Debraj Goswami, John Tun Sein, Manisha Gera, Sheila Makhijani, T. M. Aziz, Theodore Mesquita, Gargi Raina, Jayashree Chakravarty, V. Ramesh and Vasudhara Tewari Broota.

Notes
Curatorial Note
‘Mapping Memories: Painted Travelogues’ is a unique body of work culled from memories of a series of workshops conducted by Gallery Threshold. It marks a journey over cultural routes that took us from Greece, through China, Burma And Bali.
It was not the destination but the journey that counted – the shared experiences, bondings and distilled memories that went into making this exhibition possible.
My grateful acknowledgement to all the participating artists for their generous and wholehearted cooperation.
As we move into our new space, the journey continues…
