| Bag my Dreams!! |
| Zalak M. Shah, Ranjit Mullick & Jayashree
Basak Like every one of us, Zalak aspires to look beautiful and help others look beautiful. A trained beautician, Zalak collaborated with Jayashree, a trained artist-printmaker to make a limited edition artist’s book – an album of her unique world replete with intricate patterns with which she weaves the tales of her life, her family and friends, her desires and dreams. Zalak’s story was serigraphed onto Ranjit’s bags using his skills in origami and serigraphy. Like a Pandora’s box, Ranjit’s bags, like Zalak’s books, also become repositories of dreams and desires that spring out of the closet. The euphoria and sheer joy of this project and its participants remains etched in their memories – bridges built across disabilities using the language of each one’s unique abilities. |

| From Your Door to Mine |
| Prakash Behera, Satyajit Das & Ushasi
Paul “We brought into the gallery space, on a wall with two windows and a door, the village and the city – the differing backgrounds that are specific to us.” Prakash, who is a fine arts graduate, executed the village wall appropriating folk and tribal languages that are familiar to him. Through the door and the windows of this rural façade is visible the teeming city in the distance, painted by Satyajit and Ushasi. Rushing through from the city to the village, or vice versa, is the locomotive, making a journey akin to Prakash’s journey to Kolkata, a city that enthralls him. As the rural and the urban transgress each other, so also do the differing worlds of Prakash, Satyajit and Ushasi – silence and clamour, order and chaos, disadvantage and privilege. |

| Kaala Taj |
| Neeta K. Humbal, Sushovon Sapui & Sujay
Mukherjee Reversing the gaze You said gaze? Yeah, gaze - the privilege of seeing. And Taj - the ultimate symbol of that gaze … White, monolithic and calligraphic – visuality wrought all over it. But wait!! It’s black here! Want to know why? Then ask for assistance. Well, the Braille script on the surface of the Taj will tell you why. Oh! I can’t! Then ask somebody who can – say, for instance, that blind person out there might be able to help you. He will readily do so. |

| Let’s Talk |
| Hasmukh K. Angari, Shankar M. Bhoya & Nantu
Behari Das “My world extends only as far as the length of my arm. Though my world is silent, yet I can speak. Though the images are slowly fading, yet I can help you see. All that I touch, I can sense and thus perceive.” The sculptor uses Hasmukhbhai’s extremely heightened sense of touch here coupled with the malleability of clay to unfold a dialogue that occurs not through words, but through the use of signs and senses, inscrutable and incomprehensible to many. As the clay yields to the touch, Hasmukhbhai, who draws with élan, converses rapidly with his fingers, each fragment of conversation later frozen in plaster and encased within the confines of a box – confines either inherited or imposed. |

| Let the flute sound instead of the gun |
| Marina Samuel, Aparna Roy, Rajdeep Banerjee
& Srikanta Paul We awaken each day to bloodshed, violence, terror and strife. Each of us is disabled in one way or another – from here is born within us the power to do either good or evil. The impact, use and disbursal of this power are choices that we exercise. Through this performance we endeavour to bring you the enduring message of peace – to live and prosper with the good intrinsic within each of us. No more, no more, terror, blood or gore. “Aar noi baar-baar, aei bhoyabohotaar hahakaar” |

| Spot the Differences |
| Shantidev Bera, Kinjal Shah & Sanhita
Banerjee This is an exercise for all of us to explore what is “normal”. Before you is an instruction written in sign language: “SPOT THE DIFFERENCES”. But many of us will not be able to follow the instruction … that is our disability. So many of us do not have the ear to listen to the sound of music, do not have the ability to smell the wet soil after the rain. Without sounding cliched, we would like to say that we are all abled as well as disabled in our own ways. So can we really spot the differences? |
