INTERFACING AS PRACTICE: Modulating Spirals and Sonic Ferments

The BFA Programme, Jindal School of Liberal Arts & Humanities (JSLH) is pleased to invite you to a session with Rahul Juneja, exploring the detection of Hekh, its stakes, agents, modulators and ongoing modulations—situating framework building as an expansive form of artistic practice.

The session asks: How do we move in, with and through the worlds we inherit, inhabit and invent as cultural practitioners? What new vocabularies, protocols and infrastructures must be conjured to sustain these inquiries?

History, Memory, Commemoration, is a project that explores how a shared colonial history is remembered, experienced and passed on to future generations. The project, realised and created by Iswanto Hartono, Mirwan Andan and Hans van Houwelingen, will result in eight films, each recorded at specific locations in Indonesia and the Netherlands.

Recorded in Makassar, Maros, Barru, Pare-Pare and Palopo, SULAWESI is the third work in the series, following after JAVA and ACEH. This work shows how the impact of the violence of 1946/47 in South Sulawesi when Captain Raymond Westerling and his Special Forces launched a violent campaign to suppress the Indonesian independence movement in that area. Thousands were killed in what became one of the most brutal episodes of the colonial war. How does the memory of this violence persist today? And how do centuries-old local cultures endure despite such powerful external forces?

Dear friends
We are excited to invite you to “घना के भीतर “ a performance by Dhruv Singh

on
*26th July, 6:00 p.m. onwards*

At
*1/4A, 3rd Floor, Block C, Jangpura B
Uber landmark- Trendy Bed and Breakfast*

About the performance:

नहर पार जंगल से ईंधन लाने, कूए पे नहाने, हर गर्मियों में गारे की मिट्टी से ट्रैक्टर - ट्रॉली बनाने जैसे अनुभव
भले जितने stereotypical लगें पर इनकी पुनरावृत्ति human aur nature के बीच के संवाद को बढ़ाती हैं
और दोनों के essence को भी preserve रखती हैं।
natural और cultural entities की पुनरावृत्ति ग्रामीण रोज़मर्रा में देखने को मिलती हैं,
ये पुनरावृत्तियां ग्रामीण रोज़मर्रा को अपने आप में ही एक performative tradition की तरह establish करती हैं।
इस performance में, Crane migration की कहानियों को body के through experience
और embody करने की कोशिश की है। इस performance के ज़रिये अपनी conservation की हुब्ब को भी journalistic research में बदलने का मौका मिला।

*This Performance
is a reiteration.*

Panjeri Artists' Union is glad to host ‘Unpoor’ Images of A Revolution', a lecture performance developed by Anurag Singraur and Rahul Juneja, with Hekh.

~ Here, Faint growls of gorillas whisper around a now caged space in College of Art, New Delhi- used for recreation, gatherings, playing, in/de(toxicating) and sleeping. Tracing the legacy of the multiple protests in College of Art New Delhi, its implications, and its (fading) memory- it unravels different orders of time, rest, and gestures of space-making in response to legacy and institutionalisation. This (now) caged space emerges as a glitch one with no author, no legacy, where architectures of memory, vulnerability, solidarity can be reformed. ~

The performance is based on the essay “ Faint Growls of Guerriling Gorrilas”, co-authored by the performers in Call #2, a multiform journal run by Hekh. Hekh is cultural interface based in Karnal, Haryana bringing together young artists, researchers, and thinkers in India. Finding its origins in a punjabi folk singing technique with a constant, vibrato like modulation, it translates to an undying call. It thinks of technics of amplification, resonating, echoing, transmuting as social and cultural technologies- informing and interfering in frequencies past, present and future. by @hekh.in

_This event will be held only offline_

The conversations reflect on the existing independent artistic intervention in Kashmir and how their existence becomes relevant in current times. The conversation will unpack the ‘trojanness’ of such interventions, moving into people come together under conditions of precarity, surveillance, infrastructural voids and fragmentation- and how such coming-together can present a possible framework for collectives that is sustainable over time.

Sandip K. Luis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History & Art Appreciation at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. His areas of research and publication include theories of the avant-garde and Third World modernism, biennials, and the historiography of global contemporary art.

Saqib Mohammad Butt is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice navigates the interstices of memory, political geography, and embodiment. Born in Srinagar, Kashmir, he is currently based in New Delhi.

Khursheed Ahmad, born into a family of folk artists called ‘Bhand’ in Kashmir, who over the centuries have played different roles in public theatrical spaces. His interests in art practice lie in multiple disciplines i.e. performance, text, sound, drawing, found object, and photography.

Salman B Baba is a visual artist who lives and works in Kashmir. His practice responds to the discourses surrounding Kashmiri landscape and subjecthood which has led him to explore ideas around sovereign power politics. by @hekh.in

नोट #1

घर ये कहानी तुम्हारे कमरों में घूमेगी… बहुत पुराने घरों में हर चीज़ एक दूसरे में घुलने मिलने लगती है। कौनसा कमरा रहने का… कौनसे खाने का - अभी मुस्कुरा रहा हूँ, असल में हमारे यहाँ तो ये बँटवारा कभी रहा ही नहीं? घर… मैं तुम्हें भाषा में वापस ढूँढने की कोशिश करते हुए अपनी देह को तुमसे ढकता हूँ। तुम मेरे कंधे पर कुछ देर ठहर सकते हो। फिर तो एटलस को धरती फेंक ही देनी है।
घर, मैं आख़िरी हूँ, इसलिए मुझे आदम कहना। भाषा को अब इसकी परवाह नहीं। भाषा मुक्त होना चाहती है।

बाक़ी के लिए मिलते हैं। बातचीत करेंगे। 🌼🌼

Dear friends
We invite you for an online workshop “Imaginary Conundrum: Telepathic Drawing” with Jazael Olguín Zapata on 17th January, 2026, 6:30 p.m. onwards. This workshop will be held online, with an option to gather at the hekh studios in case participants want to interact with each other.

Please mark your interest with the google form in bio, which also contains all the details:

Imaginary Conundrum: Telepathic Drawing is an online workshop that combines meditative reflection with collective drawing exercises to explore telepathy as a speculative, relational practice. Rather than treating telepathy as a paranormal phenomenon, the workshop approaches it as a shared sensitivity: a way of tuning into others beyond physical presence, language, or direct communication. Here, Drawing becomes a tool to register intuition, resonance, interference, and misalignment—engaging in the construction of a collective imaginary that emerges across distance and non-presential time.

This workshop is part of activations under Call #2, second publication by Hekh.
