About the exhibition:
This exhibition curated by Rahul Mehrotra, Pranav Thole, and Devashree Shah, displays the works of 41 emergent architectural practices in South Asia that have engaged in the making of architecture, landscape, and infrastructure in the public realm. The exhibition has been designed to travel across South Asia with the intent that along each stop and in each country, it will involve local curators who will be tasked with adding to and building upon the intellectual provocations and framings. Thus, local curators will bring a diversity of curatorial approaches and therefore expand the choices made.
Exhibition Dates: August 5-18, 2024
Venue: Alliance Française, Chennai, India
