Mapping Climate Change

Conceptual artist Atul Bhalla on a one-of-its-kind art initiative to map the history of weather from locations around the world through the imaginary line of 28N Parallel

New Delhi-based conceptual and performance artist Atul Bhalla is passionate about water. He has spent more than two decades addressing the physical, historical, political and religious aspects of water N using photography, video and installation. He engages with the eco-politics of water as well as exploring histories and associative meanings of sites of everyday living, often building narratives through performance. Now the Professor and Head, Department of Art & Performing Arts, Shiv Nadar University, is undertaking an initiative titled 'False Clouds and Real Deluges', to collect photographs, videos and sound footage of weather's history from locations along the 28N Parallel to compile a one-of-its-kind art initiative.
