Myths We Inherit
A visual pilgrimage through mythological stories and ancestral memory
About this Experience
Enter a transcendent journey where ancient wisdom meets contemporary artistic vision. 'Myths We Inherit' is a groundbreaking exhibition that explores how mythological narratives, ancestral memories, and cultural symbols shape our contemporary identity. Curated by visionary Prachi Kapoor, this show brings together three powerful voices: Tirthraj Sinh Zala from Rajkot with his 'Neelantara: A Mythic Blue Journey' series, Abhishek Pandey from Pune exploring inherited myths through mixed media, and Farwa Moledina from Birmingham interpreting cultural symbolism through contemporary visual art. Zala's work specifically focuses on the cosmic power of blue, ritualistic mark-making, and symbols derived from Rajputana heritage, offering a deeply personal and evocative exploration of mythology that feels both timeless and entirely of the present.
