Art curator Himanshu Verma, who shuttles between Mumbai and Jaipur, shares that the show includes elements of research and documentation, exploring and creating a map of the nuanced experiences of the monsoons in a mix of landscapes, objects, culture, and emotions. Set in an area made to mirror someone’s personal room, the show invites viewers into a space that imbibes a moody tone with monotone works by three artists. This includes photographer and filmmaker Abeer Khan who documents aspects of the season through city stills; graphic artist Hiten Sondagar who shares new ways and patterns of looking at raindrops; and architect and artist Jaidev Tripathy who offers the monsoon experiences of a newcomer in the city through drawings and sketches of rain-washed avenues for a fresh perspective of the season.

The show opens with its second Mumbai edition, after 2006, of The Monsoon Festival that celebrates its 17th year. The initiative focuses on rekindling the urge to respond to India’s seasons and festivals to inform contemporary art. Sahil Arora, founder and curator, Method, says, “While we curate our shows in-house, having someone share their vision, handpick artists and their work, and bring it all together is a unique experience.”
