The video was created in response to the following prompt from Maze Collective Studio:
The exhibition will be curated by Damian Christinger. Gallery Espace's first exhibition was a solo show by the legendary M.F. Husain, who even created a poster for the event. As you know, M.F. Husain is a pivotal figure in Indian art, with his legacy deeply intertwined with the art space's hierarchies. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Husain, and many major art events worldwide are celebrating his contributions.
Our exhibition seeks to explore how younger artists can assert their presence in an art world often dominated by such iconic names. We have prepared 8 digitally printed posters, one for each of you. We invite you to transform these posters in any way you choose. Whether you cut, alter, or reimagine them, this is your chance to make a bold statement and claim your space in the art world. (Name of the painting in the poster - The court painter).

So I thought I’d take the poster for a little monsoon outing instead — spend some time with it in the places around where I live these days.
