Curated by Munjarita Mondal

Covers from the collection of Arunabha Ghosh

This exhibition creates a sensory journey through the art of the album cover—where sight, touch, and sound converge. It explores how the physicality of records—their sleeves, textures, and imagery—evokes a personal, almost ritualistic connection to music. As described by Arunabha Ghosh, these objects become vessels of memory, linking past experiences through sensation. In contrast to today’s digital world, the exhibition invites viewers to rediscover music’s tangible presence through the intimate handling of albums.

The exhibition will remain on view from 26 July to 1 August 2025, 11:00 to 19:00 hours daily

In any non-writing culture, the transmission of practical know how’s, moral compasses, social taboos and the manners of speech, maintain themselves through the telling and retelling of stories. However, across the modern world, the amplitude of such oral cultures is shrinking, their voices often drowned in an era dominated by the written and the visual. Yet within this decline, there exists a possibility: the very communities that have ensured continuum of these narratives for generations are now adapting, using visual mediums as new vessels for disseminating oral knowledge.

The exhibition explores how stories once solely spoken and sung, find expression through visual narratives. A collaboration between Kailash Pradhan and Ajay Marko, Gond Pradhaan artists with Gangaram Uikey and Narayandeen Tekam, oral storytellers from the same community, this exhibition presents the active passing of smriti (memory) within the Pradhaan Gonds and a dialogue between orality and visuality, tradition and reinvention.

The facilitation of this process of memory transfer has been made possible by Smt Apoorva Mishra and Shri Achyut Siddu of Loksutr, who have been working closely with the tribal communities in Anuppur and Dindori in Madhya Pradesh
