What happens between a rock and a hard place? What emerges from the contours and crevices we inhabit? 

Cities exist in a precarious balance. In the spaces of compression and release, we play with the ideas of heaviness and lightness and where they intersect. Art emerges from concrete, moss softens a brick wall and stories converge at traffic stops.

This year-long curation of City Scripts navigates these contrasts and binaries through conversations, performances, readings, walks and more.

One of the earliest rock formations on planet Earth is found right here in Bengaluru. 

These 3-billion-year-old stones have witnessed two-thirds of Earth’s entire existence, yet today they vanish quietly beneath our expanding city.

Through plein air paintings, this exhibition asks: what does it mean to see geological time, and what are we losing as these ancient witnesses disappear?
