A glimpse behind the scenes of How Long Will We Live? Or When Will We Die? by Benitha Perciyal. The exhibition unfolds like an extension of the artist’s studio, bringing together works, books, research, and objects that have shaped her practice.

Rooted in questions of displacement, faith, memory, and the natural world, the works invite a slower way of looking. From making and installing to the quiet details that shape the exhibition, this BTS reel offers a glimpse into the process behind the show.

Ashvita’s is pleased to announce our participation at IAF, bringing together seven artists from our contemporary programme.

Thukral & Tagra, Raghava KK, Jagath Ravi, Maanas Udayakumar, C. Krishnaswamy, G. Gurunathan, and Benitha Perciyal K. explore transformation through distinct materials, processes, and ways of seeing. From everyday gestures and discarded industrial metal to memory, technology, ritual, and organic matter, each practice begins with what is already around us.

Together, the works consider how familiar forms can be transformed into new ways of experiencing the present.

We look forward to welcoming you to our presentation at IAF and sharing these practices with you.

The conversation continues as How Long Will We Live? Or When Will We Die? resumes today at Ashvita’s Flagship. We’re sharing a few glimpses of the audiences and visitors who have spent time with Benitha Perciyal’s work.

Each encounter brings its own questions, reflections, and moments of looking. The exhibition offers an intimate glimpse into a practice shaped by three decades of observation, faith, displacement, and the natural world.

We welcome you to slow down, look closely, and find your own conversation with the work.

The exhibition is open from today until September 30.

For Contemporary Now – Edition III, Jagath Ravi and Maanas Udayakumar brought two distinctly personal ways of looking at the present.

Jagath’s works draw from fleeting gestures, everyday moments and the tension between the finite and the infinite, while Maanas turns memory, emotion and lived experience into expansive visual worlds.

Presented by Ashvita’s, their works reflect how contemporary practice can hold on to what is personal while remaining open to wider questions of time, memory, and experience.

Watch them share what lies behind the works presented at Contemporary Now 2026.

Five works from C Krishnaswamy’s Solo : CONTINUIVERSE that are not to be missed.

Rooted in the ancient Ayyanar tradition, the sculptures explore guardianship, ecological memory, and our enduring relationship with the land. Through contemporary materials and forms, they transform ancient presences into reflections on our rapidly changing landscapes.

Each work asks what remains when places, rituals, and familiar forms are transformed. Together, they speak of resilience, continuity, and the unseen connections that bind us to the world around us.

On view at Ashvita's till 18th September.

Priti and Dhiraj share their favorite work from Contemporary Now: Thukral and Tagra’s Dominus Aeris Flux XII. Oorvi reflects on Contemporary Now and the many distinct artistic and intellectual voices it brings into focus.

Together, they consider what it means to encounter diverse practices at a time of cultural change. In a city like Chennai, these conversations open up new ways of seeing, thinking, and engaging with art.

Watch the video to hear their perspectives and discover what makes this work resonate with them.

Highlights from Contemporary Now: Pause and Play, where art became a space for curiosity, imagination, and play.

Participants explored artworks through unexpected prompts, personal memories, and “wrong answers.”
They looked closer, sideways, and beyond what was immediately visible.

The Contemporary Now Bingo turned the exhibition into a playful quest for colours, details, and big feelings.
Here are a few moments from an afternoon of seeing, thinking, and playing with art.

Benitha Perciyal invites us into a world shaped by observation, memory, and quiet curiosity.

How Long Will We Live? Or When Will We Die?, unfolds like an extension of her studio. Paintings, sculptures, books, archives, and collected objects reveal a practice built over three decades.

The exhibition is on view at Ashvita’s until September 30.

Happy Madras Day!

Some cities live in memory, but Madras lives in its archives - in maps drawn centuries ago, in photographs that outlasted the hands that took them, in coins and stamps and postcards that quietly carried the city forward through time.

Each artifact is a small witness to everything Madras has been — a trading post, a colonial capital, a home to millions. To look through an archive is to realise the city was never just built once; it has been remembered, preserved, and passed on, again and again.

Here's to Madras, and to everyone who keeps its history alive. Happy Madras Day, from Ashvita's!
