This is me as the curator of the exhibition, finding myself, leading on a journey, sharing my vulnerability, and inviting visitors along the way. What holds us, makes us, carries us, now, in near and long precarious futures, I ask myself these questions as well as question the viewers," says Akansha Rastogi, as she takes you around Kiran Nadar Museum of Art's (KNMA) new exhibition,"The Elemental You" in Saket, Delhi. Aimed to be a 'slow' exhibition, it provokes and encourages the viewers to pace down and engage with the works by three South Asian diaspora artists, Simryn Gill, Neha Choksi and Hajra Waheed.
