At Art Dubai 2025, our booth explores the fragility of memory through transformative artworks. Risham Syed’s Text and Contexts: The Olive Tree Series reimagines vintage silk panels into layers of political and historical significance, where delicate florals meet intense, conflicted maps.
Huma Mulji’s work focuses on erasure: email exchanges about collaboration are embroidered and crossed out, referencing political censorship and the ambiguity of memory.
Khandakar Ohida’s When Tomorrow Unfolds creates a dreamlike space that critiques divisive politics in India, imagining resistance rather than documenting violence. Pallavi Paul’s Noor series explores memory’s duality, with motifs from chadars symbolizing fading and re-emerging affection.
Mahesh Baliga’s Wood on Paint series experiments with the translation of materials, using wood inlays to capture the fluidity of paint, while Shreyas Karle’s paradoxical wooden sculpture challenges the conventions of object functionality, moving only in circles.
