Beyond Signs looks at artistic approaches involving everyday gestures akin to a communication channel. This immersive exhibition will use videos, visual vernacular, artwork, impressions, short films, narratives, photographs, and sculptures so that people can recognise the familiar from what is oblivious to them in their daily lives. 

​

Eight artists are coming together to create a medium of those gestural interactions, setting an open space for the visitors to explore. The exhibit is designed structurally to understand and recognise how these everyday gestures constitute a cultural microcosm—one that is of a rich tapestry and a beautiful communication heritage. This exhibit is in honour of the International Day of Sign Languages, celebrated on September 23rd.

​

Together, these artworks at the gallery will delve into the fundamental aspect of gesture-centric lives in India, opening the visitors to the artists' lived experiences. The exhibition aims to engage the public in discussions on how they can help foster inclusion and accessibility, immerse themselves in interactive events, take their newfound learnings forward, understand new forms of expression, and discover the history behind it.
