Umesh Singh is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice navigates the intersections of ecological art, indigenous knowledge, and agrarian livelihoods. Originally from Kurmurhi, a village near Aarah in Bihar, Umesh’s work draws from personal and collective histories of land, labor, and resistance.
He began exploring alternative printmaking methods during a short-term residency at Syahghar Foto Studio in 2014, (https://syahgharfotostudio.wordpress.com/) where he engaged with cyanotype and gum bichromate processes. This experience planted the seed for his deeper engagement with the tools and textures of farming life. Over the last decade, his practice has evolved to include poetry in Bhojpuri, documenting daily struggles of laborers, local political injustices, and the environmental consequences of modern agricultural practices—such as the impact of GMO seeds, pesticide use, and the aftermath of the Green Revolution. Umesh’s father worked as a security guard, and his family's experience with farming loss and economic instability continues to inform his art. Tools of farming have become symbolic extensions of his body, reflecting resistance against capitalist agricultural systems and the erasure of traditional knowledge.
His work is rooted in spatial subjectivity, connecting bodies to landscapes, and is committed to documenting lived experiences of ecological and educational marginalization. He has been an active member of in_process since 2012, contributing to and Participating in several in_process workshops.
Umesh holds a Master’s in Fine Arts (Printmaking) from the University of Hyderabad (2019) and a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts (Painting) from Banaras Hindu University (2017). He is currently pursuing a PhD at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, researching Ecological Art Practices in 21st-century Indian art.

This year, a new collective performance group based in Hyderabad, in the southeastern region of India, is organizing an event in solidarity with The Same Difference: Equinox to Equinox on March 21, 2025.
The collective addresses the synthesis at the core of the equinox, reflecting on the current situation and its challenges.
The collective performance art event organized by Possible Futures at Mushroom Rock, University of Hyderabad, was a site-responsive intervention that engaged deeply with themes of survival, ecological grief, and human impact. Rooted in the collective’s ethos of interdisciplinary artistic engagement, the performance brought together artists, performers, and researchers to critically examine the entanglements between land, labor, and environmental destruction. Through gestural movements, material, and sound, the performance reflected on the tension between construction and destruction. The stone-breaking, plastic waste, and green mesh pointed to the ways human development threatens natural spaces. It highlighted the struggle between visibility and erasure—Bhanu’s mirrored figure, Shivam’s shifting identities, and Vignesh’s tracings questioning what remains and what disappears. It emphasized the act of listening and witnessing—Manjari’s quiet engagement with stones and Shivam’s animalistic calls fostering an interspecies dialogue beyond words. It underscored the weight of labor and care—from Suresh’s relentless breaking of stones to the collective lifting of the nest, emphasizing the emotional and physical burden of preservation.
Set against the backdrop of Kancha Gachibowli’s contested forest land and the ancient rock formations of the Deccan Plateau, the performance was an exploration of shared responsibility and collective endurance. Possible Futures, as a Hyderabad-based artist collective, has consistently worked at the intersection of artistic practice and critical discourse, fostering dialogues around environmental and socio-political urgencies. This performance was a continuation of the collective’s commitment to creating ephemeral, site-sensitive works that question dominant power structures while advocating for ecological and cultural preservation. By engaging with Mushroom Rock—a site of geographical, cultural, and ecological significance—the collective reaffirmed its stance on land as a living archive, urging a rethinking of urban expansion and environmental degradation.
Ultimately, this performance did not impose a single meaning. Instead, it invited reflection—on our place within the environment, the marks we leave behind, and the ways we choose to protect rather than exploit. The nest—fragile yet resilient—stood as a testament to shared labor, responsibility, and the possibility of renewal. Through this intervention, *Possible Futures* reinforced the radical potential of performance art as an act of resistance and community-making. Rather than imposing a singular narrative, the event created an open-ended space for reflection, inviting audiences to witness, interpret, and engage in a broader conversation on our relationship with land and the responsibilities that come with inhabiting it.

"The Youngest Breathe in My Rest of Entire Life" poetically explores the impact of invisible environmental factors, particularly air pollution. Reflecting on the possibility that the air we breathe now might be the purest in our lifetime, the work critiques humanity’s focus on prolonging life while neglecting environmental sustainability. It imagines a future where clean air becomes a commodity, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and action against decades of worsening global air quality. Through poetic movement, the performance challenges viewers to consider the coexistence of life and environmental responsibility.
Artist :-
Yihwa Kim draws inspiration from places and
weaves narratives that offer unique approaches to
societal stereotypes. She examines various forms
of micro-societies and the individuals within
them from a contemporary perspective, creating
site-specific installations and performances.
Her work is characterised by an immersive
approach, which interprets exhibition spaces
theatrically and locating the audience’s gaze
and movement with intention. Recently, Kim
has been experimenting with metaphorical
works based on research into the relationships
between the environment and the individual, as
well as between the city and the individual. This
exploration reflects a deepening interest in how
these complex interconnections shape personal
and collective experiences. Through her artwork,
she seeks to unravel and interpret the intricate
dynamics between people and their surroundings.

“in _Process” is equilibrium of embodiment via inter-corporeality of the body in time. Our artistic inquiry seeks to understand the epistemological engagement of processes, legitimization of alternative affirmatives, sabotage of performance practices, documentation, individual and collaborative actions in public and indoor spaces. The idea of performance possibility, for us, goes beyond the white cube culture and decentralizes the idea of one particular class system (the bourgeois). We bring it to smaller spaces, connect with and develop the local performative and indigenous practices. We engage and involve local, rural and small city practices.
Space, on the other hand, is portrayed as a metaphorical and hypothetical ground in performative action and observation of time paradox, durational historicity of place, objects, and body in install-action, performances.
The mode of the process is collaborative, individual, interactive, and encourages the exchange of ideas, texts, sound, action, and experiences during the meeting, among members, performances, discussions, and observation.
During the process, the body will be observed as series of socio-political, cultural and ritualistic challenges in space, as well as different thoughts on collaborative, formal, and collective work with others (co-worker, collaborators, ideas of authorship and individual collective notions in artistic practices etc.). The becoming of an individual body as collective and collective support to the individual, are the key practices of this artistic process inquiry.
Anybody, who is willing to involve themselves in process, repetition or duration to understand the materiality/corporeality of sound, text, image, space, and notions of emotion in performance or live art, can become a part of In_process Open source.
Specifically, we are looking at a hypothetical process i.e. how kinesthetic (perceptual) appearances of the body in socio-political landscapes engage differently as interpretations. This would invariably look at how collaboration with re-interpretation of space, the historicity of place and representation in artistic, poetic, performative process, becomes a process of observation. This is, therefore, a poetic and artistic inquiry into time-place along with historicity and manipulation of history of places, persons, events, and of narrations. In other words, how a body faces all of these in socio-political construction and re-construction of time. These abundant spaces are in fact metaphors of no man’s land, or paranoiac alienation of body, or state and desolation in time. This hypothesis includes different observations and ways of practicing performance, video, text, and sound, as a part of the performance process.
