WHAT does unhoming feel like? Perhaps it is the uprooting from a safe space, or feeling fragmented due to the loss of a place that once sheltered you. Beyond the physical loss, unhoming is also an emotional untethering from the anchors of life. This aching sentiment is captured in an ongoing exhibition ‘Unhoming: Fragile Belonging’ at Exhibit 320. Curated by Deeksha Nath, it lets one ruminate on issues of displacement, systemic violence and the idea of ‘home’ through the works of 11 artists – the late Zarina Hashmi, Tilima Sheikh, BV Suresh, Raneet Soi, Martand Khosla, Sumakshi Singh, Remen Chopra, Vishwa Shroff, Vikrant Chhalse, Deepak Kumar, and Kareena Khemka.
Nath’s personal experience during global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts shaped the theme.
