Freedom becomes a shared picture
2022 · New Delhi & Bengaluru
Children’s ideas of freedom enter public view through an interactive mosaic.
Whose freedom do we see?
Developed with Kutumb Foundation, Aज़ादi invited children from underserved communities to express what independence meant to them through art. Their images brought personal hopes and understandings of freedom into a public exhibition.
Standing together
In the installation, a visitor’s silhouette revealed individual artworks in a floating mosaic. Several people standing together could reveal a fuller picture, making shared presence part of the work’s reflection on inclusion.
Exhibition history
The principal exhibition account dates the work to 2022 and lists the American Center, New Delhi, and While Tech Do Art at Bangalore International Centre. A newer course caption uses 2021; that discrepancy is retained in the evidence notes rather than silently treating the dates as settled.
Video documentation
A project-specific video was not documented in the inspected sources. This page preserves that gap rather than substituting another work’s video.
