Art exhibition on Gandhi's struggle against communalism
The exhibition is a creative response to a journey undertaken by photographer Sudheesh Ezhuthu, poet P. N. Gopikrishnan, and painter Murali Cheeroth. They travelled through Noakhali, Bihar, Delhi, and Kolkata, following the path of Gandhi's historic resistance, and collected materials for the exhibition.
Murali Cheeroth and human geographer Jayaraj Sundaresan are curating the exhibition, which integrates photographs, poems, and various visual and audio art forms. Throughout the exhibition, which runs until August 18, lectures and cultural programmes will be held every evening.
Classical vocalist Kalapini Komkali and the singers of Kerala Kalamandalam will sing songs related to Gandhi's life on different days.
The main reason for conducting the exhibition is the realisation that studying and discussing the politics and practice of Gandhi's resistance to communalism can provide great energy and inspiration to overcome the challenges faced by contemporary Indian society, according to the Democratic Secular Collective, an alliance of Thrissur-based Samadarshi and several other cultural organisations and individuals, which organises the exhibition.
