Vivek Vilasini's 'Visual Essays' Exhibition Opens at Sakshi Gallery in Mumbai

Vivek Vilasini presents his third solo exhibition at Sakshi Gallery in Mumbai, running from April 9 to May 7, 2026. The show features a series of visual essays where each piece operates as an independent inquiry while maintaining interconnections. Vilasini's artistic approach deliberately avoids a single overarching theme, offering viewers multiple entry points into the work. His practice consistently navigates between global and local frameworks, transforming specific local references into broader socio-political and mythical contexts. Migration, movement, and the frictions arising from cultural and ideological collisions have been persistent themes in his oeuvre. One artwork specifically examines linguistic divides and the gaps that emerge between languages. The exhibition title references those who sing national anthems in languages not their own.
