To be wild at heart as an artist is to stay faithful to the impulses that shape one's practice - the ideas, materials, and forms of expression that persist despite uncertainty or convention. At heart points to what is intrinsic and enduring; wild, in this sense, names a refusal to be contained by familiar structures or accepted ways of seeing.
Participating artists: Amikam Toren, Asha Vaidyanath, Basist Kumar, Holly Hendry, Katie Pratt, Rahul Papaniya, Shivangi Ladha, Vanita Gupta, Willa Hilditch.
Sing. No cry evokes a way of moving through the world with openness rather than resignation. To sing is to affirm one's presence: to give voice without asking permission, to make something that insists on being heard. No cry suggests something else - not the absence of pain, but a refusal to let pain define the voice.
In Wild at Heart, David Lynch follows two lovers who break free from ordinary life into a world where anything can happen. Even without seeing the film, its premise feels familiar: an adult fairy tale where innocence and danger coexist. Road movies are rarely about the destination; they thrive on movement, uncertainty, and the thrill of crossing boundaries. Lula Pace Fortune and Sailor Ripley chase a life driven by instinct, passion, and defiance, rejecting the roles imposed on them. Their freedom is reckless, destructive, exhilarating in equal measure. Their journey becomes a way of asking what it means to live - and to create - with fearless, untethered abandon.
Art often travels a quieter road. Its gestures unfolding at a finer register, where limits are tested subtly rather than spectacularly. To make art, and to engage with it, is already to claim a measure of freedom: a space where perception shifts, questions remain open, and new possibilities emerge. To be wild at heart as an artist is to stay faithful to the impulses that shape one's practice - the ideas, materials, and forms of expression that persist despite uncertainty or convention. At heart points to what is intrinsic and enduring; wild, in this sense, names a refusal to be contained by familiar structures or accepted ways of seeing.
The artists in this exhibition each follow their own path of inquiry, exploring the possibilities of image, material, space, and experience. Through distinct approaches and personal languages, they transform the familiar into something newly encountered, revealing what comes into view when we look more closely. Their works question, unsettle, and expand perception. They remind us that remaining wild at heart is not about turning away from the world, but meeting it without retreat. That a life lived with attention - and an art made with the same resolve - is itself a quiet form of resistance.
