TYEB MEHTA Bearing Weight FEATURED EVENTS

Restricted Palettes is a four-part Saturday Family Workshop series that explores how colour behaves through limitation, relationship, and perception. Drawing from TYEB MEHTA’s practice, the series invites families to understand how minimal colour systems can create depth, tension, and emotional intensity.

In this second session, Context in a Colour: Relativity and Multiplicity, participants explore how a single colour can appear to change depending on its surroundings. Through guided collage-based exercises using multi-window formats, families place and reposition colours to observe how one hue shifts in value and intensity, appearing lighter or darker, warmer or cooler based on context.

By working with a restricted palette, participants discover that colour is relational rather than fixed, shaped by proximity and placement. This approach reflects TYEB MEHTA’s practice, where carefully structured colour interactions create visual tension and emotional depth.

Designed for children and adults to create together, the workshop encourages close observation and experimentation, offering an engaging introduction to understanding how colour transforms through interaction.
