Sameer Kulavoor

"I will begin with a presentation of my work, which includes a slideshow of sketchbooks I carried to Delhi, Goa, Kelwa Beach, which is on the outskirts of Mumbai, and Copenhagen, Berlin, New York, etc. The idea is to share my art practice with the participants but to also tell them that there are no set rules for maintaining a sketchbook," informs Kulavoor. In Berlin, for instance, the artist only had a ballpoint pen at his disposal, and that's what he used to translate snippets of his experiences in the German capital onto paper. "In fact, the medium is also what makes sketchbooks different from each other," he adds. Next, Kulavoor will do a demonstration — predominantly figurative drawing in free style — in and around the museum. Finally, the attendees will do some sketching and drawing.

How is sketching a travelogue different from photographing your holiday, we ask the artist, who has close to 50 sketchbooks from his travels from the last 15 years. "Sketching while travelling comes naturally to me. It takes me back to the place in a more immersive way than a photograph can, because the latter is a direct means of documentation," says Kulavoor. "What I sketch is also what the mind filters simultaneously. It is a reflection of things, people and scenes that stood out for me more than anything else."
