Dear All,

The Visual Arts Department and The Archives of Contemporary India (ACI) presents, 

deCLASSIFIED 

Is an Archive a time capsule, custodian of all things past or is it/can it be a catalyst for contemporary conversations?

At the intersections of the political, the personal and pedagogy,

we look forward to your participation.

Wednesday, 30th April – Thursday, 1st May 2025

AC02 – 008 & 009 

The show starts at 1:30 PM

{End Semester Exhibition by the scholars of "Visualising with the Archive" Course Visual Arts Department}

Engaging with Archives of Contemporary India (ACI), the scholars delve into the dual role of the archive, serving as both a tool and a point of reference for shaping their artistic and storytelling visions.

Working with the Archive and its diverse collections, here scholars engage and negotiate their experience, research and learnings through visual storytelling through art, graphic narratives, installations, photography, interactive stories, picture books and palimpsests.

The Archive acts as a space for engagement and inspiration. Deriving from its collections, this is a collective effort to declassify.

We look forward to your visit and interaction.

We would also like to thank the entire team at the Archives for extending their unconditional support through the semester.

Warm regards,

Visual Arts Department
