Ways of Seeing
Observe the fragments, dislocations, and juxtapositions, then weave a narrative from them. Using a viewfinder or eye window cut-out, participants drew different portions of the space and then juxtaposed the pieces to create a cohesive narrative.

Read aloud in your mind
A drawing exercise using newspaper
SEE TOGETHER
SEE & READ TOGETHER
SEE & READ SITTING TOGETHER
BUT
HOW TO READ?
IS IT A BALANCING ACT – AN ACT THAT REQUIRES BEING ON ALL FOUR?
WILL IT CREATE A LEFT-RIGHT DIVIDE? FUNCTIONALITY PREVAILS. HOWEVER, QUERY CONTINUES HOW TO READ?
Reading, taking your time to think through, and letting the words wander here and there in your (the participant’s) mind was explored to draw both – images & meanings that are an embodiment of the times we are living in.
Note: The workshops were part of workshop series, Rediscovery at the India Art Fair curated by LAND (Learning through Arts, Narrative & Discourse) & supported by Kiran Nadar Museum of Art.
