Emami Art presents The Geometry of Ordinary Lives, a solo exhibition of Prasanta Sahu’s decade-long inquiry into the intersection of art, research and lived experience. This exhibition encapsulates the evolution of his interdisciplinary practice, characterised by a synthesis of diverse mediums and
epistemologies to explore the subtleties of rural and suburban life through traditional knowledge,
pre-industrial practices, and inherited wisdom. At the core of his work is a critical engagement with generational knowledge and its transmission. He considers the workshops of blacksmiths, carpenters, potters, and craftsmen as dynamic repositories where techniques, philosophies, and stories are orally shared and safeguarded.
