“The curatorial team has emphasized on emotion-driven artworks. We seek to create a platform where visitors engage deeply with art and cultural identity.”
Through this biennale, we invite audiences to experience the intangible power of feelings— Bhāvanā—that inspire the tangibility of life and creativity.
The heavenly boon of “feel” is the gift that defines life. The ability to transform an intangible feeling into a tangible reality is what makes a great artist. But not all great artworks are created by great artists. A great artwork is a journey sparked by an awakened moment. Every confluence of our action is ignited by a feeling, and most of the times these feelings are heavily influenced by external factors. And only very occasionally a very few times, an unsolicited spark ignites an unsolicited feeling – “Bhāvanā”.
