"Painting is ultimately a culmination of several emotions and memories,” says artist Abul Hisham, while talking about 'Recitation', his second solo at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, Mumbai. Hisham’s work has a touch of surrealism, governed by, as writer Zeenat Nagree contends, “the kind of mysterious forces that have inhabited the imaginations of great storytellers.” Borrowing ideas from myth, epics, fables, scriptures, and children’s illustrated books, Hisham’s figures are suspended between spiritual longing and out-worldly tension. Recitation is run until May 4, 2019 at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, Mumbai.

Step into Mumbai's Chatterjee & Lal gallery this month and you'll find yourself hemmed in by an alternate universe comprising strange looking creatures and animals with bark-like limbs who are themselves surrounded by weapons that could also be "toys". The third solo of 30-year-old artist Sahej Rahal, the Mumbai-based creator presents an alternate civilization with 'Juggernaut,' a world that borrows as much from our very own Lord Jagannath as Jorge Luis Borges and Zakariya al-Qazwini A sci-fi and Manga enthusiast, Rahal's art is an amalgam of comics, history, mythology and philosophical literature.

In ‘Concrete Ciphers’, the Mumbai-based artist turns to themes instantly familiar to Mumbaikars, leading to imaginative and engaging art pieces Using a mixture of archival ink, drawings, engravings, cuts on museum boards and synthetic paints, the exhibition sees Morey return to his stomping ground – an exploration of Mumbai’s notorious lack of spaces, the haphazard and rapid gentrification in the last few decades and the mechanical and industrial processes of glass-fronted corporate buildings.

Sonny is just your average lackey looking for work in the show business. This is his story and the story of many spotboys, lightmen and struggling actors in this city of dreams and celluloid called Mumbai. 'Film, City' is my diploma film and I played the role of the editor of this short.

An Azerbaijani couple is trying to rebuild their love after a great loss. The wife calls up her mother for a traditional recipe to cook for her husband. But when the salt falls, will she give into the bad omen?

A friend and I delved into the slum neighborhoods and scavenged stories from some of the people who work at the sweatshops of Mumbai, polishing jewelry. This film is about their struggle to lead a decent living in the squalor of the sweatshop scene.
