समय पहाड़ हो गया है _A memory of time.
"समय पहाड़ हो गया है"(Samay Pahad Ho Gaya Hai) is a local idiom from North India that my mother often used. This idiom captures the essence of time as a burden, stagnant and absurd, similar to the themes explored in Albert Camus' philosophical essay, "The Myth of Sisyphus." Just as Sisyphus was condemned to endlessly push a boulder up a hill, the idiom implies that time has become an insurmountable mountain. It symbolizes the weight and futility we sometimes feel in the face of the unstoppable passage of time.
Talking about the idiom is I consider as return, return to the memory of time and the particular space where I grow up, how I develop my relationship with immediate environment (rural landscape) within that time frame, where I was making a family tree with different components of landscape such as tree, water, land, mountain, birds, animals, sky etc. also develop the seance of value and care of our ecosystem.
Shared Values and Environmental Care
Participants will express their appreciation and care for their immediate environment through their creations. The objects will reflect the values and connection they have developed with the ecosystem, highlighting the importance of preserving and nurturing it.
Personal Narratives
Each object will tell a unique story, providing insight into the participant's personal history and memories associated with their home. Through the chosen materials and design, the narrative will be conveyed in a visually compelling and evocative manner.
Requirements
Participants are encouraged to utilize found objects, readymade clay, M-seal, or any other materials that resonate with them. The maximum size for the objects should be 6x6x6 inches, allowing for a manageable and focused creation process.

A dot and A line
A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. Lines can be curved or straight of combinations of both. There’s an endless variety in what we think of as a line. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines can be literal or implied. Each of the different ways we draw or represent a line gives it unique characteristics.
This is a workshop with straight, vertical, horizontal , diagonal lines. Lines that you encounter around you, that surround you, that follow you everywhere, that are there because of you. The participants will go deeper in understanding and exploring the various facets and possibilities that can be offered by a simple dot moving in space, leaving behind its traces in the form of a Line.
Follow them and guide them on paper to create a matrix of your being amongst them.
Each work shall be created to express nothing more than the logic of their own creation, and yet within these rigid compositional constraints, "an infinite number of very different developments can be evolved according to individual inclination and temperament."

Ingredients of Encounters
Ingredients of Encounters invites you to a participatory performance, a site-making/marking exercise, which involves writing, pouring, burying, connecting, collective gestures, and making happenstances concrete. Taking off from the form of the workshop, this exercise will rely on the connections that emerge during the gathering to unpack the ingredients of everyday encounters in the urban sphere.
As a key to your participation, we urge you to bring an “ingredient” to the gathering. An ingredient can be anything edible (or not), or any object, or material with which you already have a story or would like to create one.

Cities We Build - Stories We Tell
This workshop explores how the architecture of a city influences our perception of space and time.

Join us to draw out your initial ideas and delve into the fascinating relationship between bookmaking and architecture.
