TIMEZONESImagining worlds and making meaning with four artists from DelhiIn the third episode of Timezones four contemporary artists with a connection to the city of Delhi reflect upon their diverse and evolving practices. Heeding into the COVID pandemic, they share observations and open spaces of thought where new meanings and speculative realities are constantly being formed, un-formed and re-formed. The composition interweaves these conversations into fragments of found sound, musical renditions and sonic textures, contemplating the ever-shifting edges of truth.
