Cities that were built and re-built time and again, as if composed and recomposed by various composers/ architects. The contemporary Delhi thus is like a poem, whose stanzas have been written by various poets at different points in time. The Delhi of  today is a culmination of 7 cities. The remnants of the eras bygone are a living testimony of thousands of years of human occupation. The exhibition tries to capture not just the historical Delhi but also the untamed, diminishing yet alive wilderness of Delhi. The Spring of Delhi in full bloom and the scenic landscape of the biodiversity of Delhi. It is also a call to fellow beings to add more stanzas to the epic poem, not the tragedies of the smog but of the symphony of sustainability and nature.
It’s an attempt in a flaneuserie trying to capture the everyday of Delhi to bring out the aesthetic side of it, which we have ceased to see these days. These are stories from lanes lesser known, a lyrical ballad dedicated to the lanes of Delhi. Here's to a timeless rhapsodic composition called “Delhi “.

Reading about Delhi, sitting under the thick foliage of the northern ridge, surrounded by history. It’s a heritage walk with a twist where texts will guide you through and make you imagine Delhi of the past. 
The northern ridge is home to many hidden monuments from the siege of Delhi 1857. Although this time the focus is not on the monuments alone but on the texts around this city of cities i.e. Delhi. We will start from the metro station, cross the University area (both of which represent the modern), marching towards the past. The flagstaff house, the Khooni Jheel and the Sarpada jheel, reminiscing the past, seeing the hidden gems of the ridge. And making our way past Delhi through books and poetry.
With the walk participants, Delhi Walk Festival 2017.
