For the implementation of a foundation project to create a site-specific exhibition titled Route no 033, comprising photographs, images, videos, voices, sounds, and noise. The installation will present a centre-less, rhizomatic map of certain sites in Kolkata that will make visible the multiple narratives of the city. The intention is to show that a city is like a palimpsest that is layered with overlapping histories, intersecting maps, and inter-meshed stories with numerous entries and exits. The outcome will be the exhibition, and talks and lectures. The Principal Investigator's deliverables to IFA with the final report will be the documentation of the exhibition, recordings of the talks and lectures, and other textual material if any. This is a collaboration with the Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata, and will draw materials from their rich photo archive. Project funds will pay for production cost, honorarium, professional fees, equipment hire, travel and consumables, and events.
