Labyrinth Within - Razia Barsatie, Sarojini Lewis, Shivani Gowda, Édouard Glissant
Three exhibitions that intersect in their exploration of inner space, language, and sensory experience. ‘Labyrinth Within ‘by Razia Barsatie and Sarojini Lewis forms the starting point: a physical and mental labyrinth where memory, body, and landscape flow into one another. The parallel presentations in the Alphabetum, ‘Writing Systems of the Otherworld’, and the renewed performance ‘The Department of Destruction’ by Shivani Gowda (8:30 PM) deepen this focus through language, diverse forms of writing, and ways of perception. In addition, the presentation on Édouard Glissant highlights how these worlds are continuously intertwined.
