Kursi, a memoir

( Exhibition at Chhata Chowk, Red Fort)

KURSI has always alluded to a sense of authority. It has also been regarded a level higher than the common cone of vision. From the kursi that translates to mere power, this exhibition is a humble attempt to critically bring forth, showcase and celebrate kursis that mean more than that, and the kursis that are seen more often - from throne to thresholds. Kursis that define the cultural essence of being ‘Indian’..

The site for the proposal is a historical and iconic one-Chhata Chowk Bazaar or Meena Bazaar, Red Fort. Historical because it was the gateway to the throne of Shaha Jahan, and iconic as it became the bazaar of the common. The Exhibition is a 3 hour experience which takes the vistor to a guided journey of the commoners, attributed in the following scenesthe Entrance, the Living, the Kitchen, the Dhaba, the Panchayat the Gathering, the Wedding, the Baithak and the Lounge

Exhibition Poster

The poster gives a glimpse of what Red fort used to represent and that underlying the current market which is very publicly accessible to everyone now, was a state of authority. The exhibition KURSI, on a commoner’s life is meant to be an irony in the main chowk of the Red Fort. the colors and the graphics talk about the same transition .
