About The Event

The exhibition, Mapping Frontiers is themed around varied interpretations and manifestations of the act of mapping, seeking to build relationships between the cosmological, physical, personal and imaginary worlds. The compilation of works will extend and reference the vast collection of cartographic works in the collection of Prshant Lahoti. Artists are invited to explore the various dimensions of mapping, orienting the work broadly to the concept note. We are constantly locating ourselves in space, within time and history, within a series of ever expanding frontiers and boundaries marked by geographies, politics, cultures and social structures. Current technology provides multiple tools to measure, indicate, and define specific physical and spatial maps, sometimes virtually. On the other hand, divinations of other worldly dimensions, and measures of cosmic and mythological geographies also exist in every culture with ancient roots. Individuals are drawn to express maps of private and internal phenomenon, combining reality with imagination, and memory with experiential existence. Looking within the subtexts one can find a distinct pathway to navigate through various layers of earthly life, and what lies beyond its peripheries in the realm of the unknown. 

 

The exhibition Mapping the City brings together artworks of upcoming contemporary artists based in Hyderabad whose works have been inspired by the rich cultural and historical heritage of the city. Maps or Cartography become the lens through which each of the artists attempts to layout their personal experience of the city as a site of exploration and memory. With ‘new media’ as their primary medium of expression, the group of artists assure in a fresh approach to art making.
