Abhijit Pal’s – Recounting Connections

Recounting Connections, a compelling group exhibition bringing together five emerging artists from the 2025 Peer-to-Peer mentorship program: Nahbananas, Liên Ta, Jessie Turner, Emma Lyn Winkler, and Abhijit Pal.

The exhibition navigates themes of communal relationships, ecological memory, and collective transformation. From multimedia installations to conceptual textile works, the artists explore our entanglements with nature, death, and each other—offering powerful reflections on responsibility and resilience.

One of the featured works, Kalpavriksha: Threads of Destiny by Naarm-based artist Abhijit Pal, invites viewers to interact with a thread-formed tree—adding or removing strands as a symbolic gesture. Created with cotton and wool, the piece echoes Pal’s practice in visual ethnography and conceptual photography. With an MFA from Rabindra Bharati University (India) and a BA in Photography from Fachhochschule Dortmund (Germany), Pal has exhibited internationally and received accolades such as the Nat Geo Moment Awards and the London Creative Competition.
