TIPOFFS

TIPOFFS “TIPOFFS” the title encapsulates the essence of sociopolitical and ecological realities that are often acknowledged yet unexamined—facts that individuals may witness or experience but fail to fully comprehend or analyze. Among these artists embodies a digital dialogue that translates their diverse embodied experiences into a visual matrix, emphasizing the intersectionality inherent in questioning and representing varied realities.” Organized by Daagi Art GarageTranscultural Emancipation Collaboration with Daagi Art Garage and Britto Art Trust.

Pustokaloy workshop

Becoming : Begining – Workshop Reflactions The unknowingness of the end is perhaps the most underlying & beautiful part of any beginning. During the 2-day workshop Becoming : Beginning under Britto Arts Trust, participants explored questions of when, where and how to start; both in life and in creativity. Amid rain-soaked days, we collectively searched for our “first word” through visual storytelling, creative writing and object-making, not to create a book, but to imagine one! Different ideas merged and evolved, shaping a shared space of reflection and creativity. Together, we arrived at a quiet yet powerful starting point; a reminder that every courageous beginning holds infinite possibility.

Pustokaloy

Pustokaloy (পুস্তকালয় ): a vessel of fragile archive What does it mean to hold memory in your hands? To carry both loss and resilience, whisper and protest, past and present?These are not to be read in silence—they are delicate, pages stitched with memory, printed with protest, sculpted with resilience. It is an invitation to feel what words alone cannot convey. Here, the artist’s book becomes a democratic vessel for stories of fragile archives: memories of youth and habitat, the scars of Partition, the struggles of women, the intimacies of the time, endangered languages, and fragile situation.These books move beyond the pages, between tenderness and confrontation, embracing diverse medium—printmaking, digital printing, stitching, collage. Each book weaves a story that is not just written in words, but also in textures, materials, and gestures.Advanced through Britto Arts Trust’s workshops in 2022, the works evolved, crossed borders, and carried many voices following the years. Now, they return home—singing together where it all first began.By bringing these works together, Pustokaloy (পুস্তকালয় ) broadens the lineage of experimental book artwhile offering a distinct perspective shaped by displacement, resilience, and solidarity- grounded in postcolonial histories and everyday endurance.These books whisper, protest, and endure—reminding us that memory is never private but always shared, always carried forward in our hands, and to feel the weight of what might otherwise be forgotten.

Pakghor & Palan at the MULTI Festival

Convivial Continuity Pakghor & Palan: Sharred Acts of Memory and Hospitality Making a space into a shared memory has always been a powerful act at the heart of Britto Arts Trust. Where communal living and artistic practice begin with everyday gestures of care. At 1+1 The Relational Years starting from 29 October 2025 to 01 March 2026, MAXXI, Rome ─ curated by internationally renowned critic and curator Nicolas Bourriaud, Pakghor & Palan emerge as living forms of kitchen & garden. Through cooking, sharing and conversations, the ancient traditions of gastronomic culture meet our contemporary lives. Here, food becomes language and hospitality ─ a discourse of Rational Aesthetics. A space where simple act of sharing replaces pretense, inviting freedom, dignity and togetherness. https://youtu.be/oL_iz9xIISc
