Myth, Memory, Form

'Myth, Memory, Form' at DakshinaChitra Heritage Museum in Chennai presents a distinguished curatorial showcase featuring the artistic practice of Pardhan Gond Artists, Pattachitra Artists, Curated by Achyut Siddu & Apoorva Mishra (Loksutr). The exhibition brings together carefully selected artworks that capture thematic depth, material mastery, and contemporary cultural discourse.

Curated by design collective Loksutr, the exhibition demonstrates how indigenous folklore and ancestral oral narratives can be translated into formal contemporary visual idioms. It examines three sacred creation traditions: the origin of the Narmada River, the genesis of the Pardhan Gond people, and the birth of art.

Visitors to DakshinaChitra Heritage Museum will experience how the artist(s) navigate regional aesthetics, personal memory, and contemporary formal experimentation. Through nuanced spatial installation, thoughtful lighting, and rich textural engagement, this exhibition stands as a compelling highlight of Chennai's vibrant cultural season.
