The Texture of Remembering by Seema Kohli

This immersive workshop invites participants (18+) to explore how sense memory — smell, taste, sound, and vision — shapes consciousness and the politics of aesthetics.

Led by artist Seema Kohli, the program introduces Kaala Netra (“the eye of time”) and its role in activating memory through sensory experience. Open to all skill levels.

Through guided sensory exercises, field notes, and hands-on experimentation, participants will learn how to use the senses to trace personal, inherited, and collective memories across different layers of consciousness. Attendees are encouraged to bring a small object connected to their personal history to deepen the experience.
