Water has an invaluable presence in the lives of all living beings. It has, of course, an essential material presence in everyday life as a commodity and often, as a pawn in political negotiations. It also has associated narratives of deeply rooted cultural memories. This exhibition is premised on the idea that water has many tales to tell. The project draws its energy from the video double-bill, titled ‘Water-Wars’, a collaboration, posted by economist Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee and graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee.(..)
