Bhaav Nagari
A village of stories, brought to life
Documented at Jaipur Art Week · January 2024
Rajasthani folklore meets objects that listen, respond and invite a choice.
Enter the village
Bhaav Nagari is Hasan Shahrukh’s fictional village where familiar objects become ways into stories. Folklore, sound, visuals and interactive technology invite visitors to influence the experience through their choices.
Stories you can touch
The exhibition account describes a radio that responds to emotion and age rather than frequency, a weighing scale that changes a folk tale through balance, and a rain stick that influences the weather in the story. Everyday gestures become a way to encounter unfamiliar technology.
Accessibility through familiarity
Rooted in Rajasthan, the work uses familiar objects and oral storytelling to make encounters with technology approachable across language and background. This is an artistic accessibility purpose, rather than a claim of certified access for every visitor.
