Ingredients of Encounters: Dismantling Site Lines

Carefully attend

a floating site

a live arc-hive

of fragmented trajectories of the present.

Ayesha Singh and Jyothidas K.V. respond to the IAF facade by hosting fleeting gatherings, extending the drawn lines to lines of poetry, readings, conversations, and ephemera. Encountered as a participatory performative picnic, this archiving exercise looks to engage, capture, and share questions that form the construction of our perspectives. 

Carrying a weighted horizon, each participant reads, engages in and contributes to a shared gathering on top of a 'picnic mat' made using remnants of the facade's perspective lines- weaving and dispersing their precision. The text read contained 17 stanzas, a few of which are written below.
