Gratitude

GM!

Thrilled to see IXC.Art & my journey with this little “homecoming” project I’ve been working on over the second half of 2024, featured in the Indian Express this morning!  

Having grown up with the narrative that "Chandigarh has no culture," I spent years leaving the city in search of inspiration elsewhere. But now, returning home older & with a broader perspective, I’m trying to do my little bit to rewrite that story. 

Through IXC.Art, I aim to shine a spotlight on the creators, subcultures, and stories that make up the fabric of this city. It’s my way of reconnecting with my childhood home & showing that it has much to offer young creatives like me who once felt the need to leave.  

The city’s blend of preservation and modernity poses an intriguing question: how does its heritage shape our evolution as a society?

I’m excited to explore this through my work with the city as my muse (p.s. a lot of Augmented Reality integration coming up!).
