KALĀ | TAKE on Art 2026
PANEL 2 | CARRIERS OF CREATIVE FORCE
18 January 2026 | 3.30 PM
What gives material its power to endure, travel, and transform?
This panel brings together perspectives from textiles, collecting, and public art to explore how materiality, memory, and place shape contemporary creative force in South Asia and its diasporas.
Carriers of Creative Force reflects on objects as vessels — holding histories, identities, and transnational exchanges — and examines how creativity moves between makers, collectors, communities, and public space to activate shared cultural meaning.
Panelists: Vibha Galhotra (@vibhagalhotra), Mayank Mansingh Kaul (@mayankmansinghkaul), Kailash K Shrestha (@artistkailash), Indira Kithsiri (@anne_indira), Firi Rahman (@ifiri)
Moderated by Pujan Gandhi (@pujangandhi72)

PANEL 1 | RIPPLE SAIL FOR RECONCILIATION
18 January 2026 | 11.30AM
How do personal histories ripple into collective futures?
This panel traces reconciliation through the intimacies of home, memory, and lived experience — moving between the domestic and the political, the inherited and the reimagined.
Ripple Sail for Reconciliation brings together voices across South Asia to reflect on how the past continues to surface in the present, and how art allows us to sit with complexity rather than resolve it.
Panelists: Hasini Haputhanthri (@rennaisancegirl), Gopa Trivedi (@gopatrivedi) , Hamra Abbas (@hamra_abbas), Pradeep Thalawatta (@pradeepthalawatta)
Moderator: Puja Vaish (@puja_vaish)

Marking her Sri Lankan debut, Richi Bhatia presents a self-led performance shaped by embodied research, material inquiry, and audience interaction.
The performance unfolds with a sound piece in the background as viewers are invited to engage with fish scales applied to the artist’s face — collapsing the distance between body, material, and spectator. What follows is an informal conversation, opening space to reflect on how the body and material are read across different geographies, informed by mythology, food practices, gender, and cultural memory.
Rooted in long, labour-intensive processes, Bhatia’s practice moves between performance, drawing, object-making, and community-based inquiry, using the body as a sensing tool to navigate personal and collective systems. This debut initiates a dialogue that is local in encounter, yet expansive in resonance.
