of worlds within worlds FEATURED EVENTS

The closing event at Durbar Hall brings together artist Gulammohammed Sheikh and curator Roobina Karode for an in-depth conversation, followed by a guided curatorial walkthrough of the exhibition. The session traces a spatial and conceptual trajectory through Sheikh’s expansive practice, moving from the intimate scale of the wall and courtyard to the architecture of the home, and outward into the layered fabric of the city and the world.

Through this progression, the discussion reflects on how Sheikh’s work maps human experience, historical memory, and interconnected geographies. His visual language brings together multiple temporalities and narratives, expanding conventional ideas of belonging and place.

The dialogue offers insight into the philosophical and artistic foundations of Sheikh’s practice, unpacking the layered structures that shape his paintings. The evening concludes with a curatorial walkthrough, inviting audiences to revisit the exhibition through this expanded framework and engage with the works from a renewed perspective.
