The exhibition touches upon issues of migration, memory, private and public spaces with visual, textual and aural elements.

Shikaar: The Hunt, Curated by Gitanjali Dang
Following the human race’s prehistoric occupation with hunting and gathering, Shikaar: The Hunt plays on the new strain of hunters and gathers who stalk the malls.
