OUR CONSPIRING HOSTS: OF RIVERS, VINES, AND MICROBES, Anant Art Gallery, Bikaner House, 28 March-7 April, 2024

The exhibition embraces eco-horror, probing our vulnerability in the Anthropocene and questioning humanity’s detachment from nature.
Organized under three themes—Rivers, Vines, and Microbes—the show explores water’s transformative force (from flood memories to environmental disasters), the disruptive power of invasive flora, and the hidden world of microorganisms that challenge our ideas of self and survival.
