Theme Artist : Pradip Das

Idol Artist : Pintu Sikder

Theme : Tel — The Market of Faith

Tel (Oil) is explored here as more than a kitchen essential, examining its links with faith, commerce, power and global politics. In fact, oil is used as a visual lens to examine power struggles and international rivalries. The theme takes a satirical look at contemporary international affairs, where the struggle for oil has been associated with geopolitical tensions, conflict and strained relations between nations.

Idol Artist : Anirban Das

Theme : "Kaler Dhwani" (The Sound of Time)

Their creation is drama in black and white. Based on the Bengali Almanac, the installation has a roofscape that reminds me of the sacred five-peaked Mount Meru set against the stars in the night sky. Laid out like a horoscope chart, it has a gripping performance, accompanied by Baul singers, where Shiva and Parvati trace the form of almanac, as a metaphor for the cosmos (as a science) controlling destiny.
