Shared Grounds: Rhythms of Santiniketan – A Celebration of Artistic Synergy at Krittika Arts Space

At Krittika Arts Space on Gurupally Road, where the soul of Santiniketan lingers in every brushstroke and melody, Shared Grounds: Rhythms of Santiniketan emerges as a radiant confluence of artistic voices, thoughtfully curated by Dr. Bhavna Khajuria Basumatary.

From January 25 to 31, 2026, Krittika Arts Space becomes a confluence of diverse artistic voices—paintings and sculptures harmonizing in a visual raga that echoes the ethos of Tagore’s creative legacy.

In Shared Grounds: Rhythms of Santiniketan, curated by Dr. Bhavna Khajuria Basumatary, the gallery becomes a living dialogue—where memory meets material, and tradition dances with experimentation. This group exhibition gathers distinct artistic practices into a resonant field of inquiry, exploring identity, ecology and transformation. Rather than prescribing meaning, it invites reflection, allowing each work to speak in its own rhythm while echoing a collective pulse. Here, difference is not division, but a dynamic harmony—an elegant constellation of shared intent and unfolding imagination.

A Tapestry of Artistic Voices

From the lyrical strokes of Ajit Seal and Alpana Dawn Seal to the evocative forms shaped by Ambarish Nandan and Amit Kumar Dhara, Shared Grounds: Rhythms of Santiniketan gathers a constellation of creators whose practices span geographies, generations and genres. Atanu Pramanik, Bani Biswas, Dharitri Boro, and Dr. Archana Das bring forth nuanced reflections of material and memory, while Dr. Bhavna Khajuria Basumatary, the curator herself, joins the ensemble with her own artistic voice. The exhibition resonates with the layered expressions of Dr. Janak Jhankar Narzary, Dr. Nirmalendu Das, Falguni Mukherjee, Kumar Jasakiya, and Lawnshaibha Kharmawlong—each contributing to the rhythm of this collective journey. M. Thomas Singh, Nanda D Mukherjee, Pooja Panchal, and Prabir Kumar Biswas lend their distinct textures to the dialogue, alongside Rajarshi Biswas, Rima Kundu, and Rishav Gandhar Narzary. Completing this vibrant chorus are Sandip Baul, Shrabani Roy, Sk. Sahajahan, and Tapashi Rani Ghosh—artists whose works echo with inquiry, transformation and shared resonance.

This showcase invites viewers into a week-long dialogue of form, rhythm and cultural memory, where each artwork resonates with the soil it springs from.
