The Visual Arts Department, in partnership with the Digital Makerspace, recently hosted a unique pottery exhibition, workshop, and live performance led by artist Sangeeta Jawla. Curated by Nischal Bhardwaj and supported by the student academic society Untitled, the event was organized under the guidance of Mihika Kulkarni. It brought together students, faculty, and artists to engage deeply with the craft of pottery as a form of artistic and cultural expression.
The exhibition featured handcrafted pottery pieces blending traditional techniques with contemporary experimentation. Participants took part in a hands-on workshop, learning sculpting under expert mentorship. The event concluded with a performance that explored the cultural, historical, and social dimensions of pottery, connecting materiality with issues of gender, folklore, and labor economies.
Jawla鈥檚 work draws on extensive research with potter communities across India, inviting participants to rethink clay as a medium for storytelling and cultural dialogue.
