DELIBERATIONS ON RUINS: VISIT SAJID WAJID SHAIKH AND JOFRE OLIVERAS' NEW ART EXHIBITION

On the 18th of this month, Mumbai’s Gallery XXL unveiled an evocative exhibition titled Witness and Evidence: Deliberations on Ruins. The exhibition presents the creations of Indian artist Sajid Wajid Shaikh and Spanish artist Jofre Oliveras and transforms the gallery into a space of profound exploration. The artists delve into the omnipresent ruins, both near and far, surrounding us in their persistent decay.

What role do artists, cultural practitioners, and curators play in crafting a temporal realm to present the chaos stemming from incessant upheaval? Can aesthetics encapsulate the essence of the present moment?
