Peacing Out

Come remember what you love about life.

Room by room, block by block, relationships and interactions, body and self, environment and atmosphere - what do you love about life?

Take a break from consuming information outside, and feel in - what is LOVE highlighting for you?

At a time of so much suffering on our planet, what would it feel like to come back to what you love? Not in a way that bypasses the realities, but in a way that guides us to uncover what we cherish, what we want to hold, to advocate for, to activate, to nurture.

❤️ When working with people at the end of life, it always comes back to what is loved.
❤️ When hosting death cafes to talk about our mortality, it always comes back to love.
❤️ When we do end-of-life planning, it always boils down to a conversion on what people love.

(And for my hometown folks - Will be sharing in Winnipeg in July - details to come!)

Proof of aliveness! Thanks to my almost-four year old for getting me out early and into the sun this morning.

I talk about life a lot but can sometimes forget my own living. Thank you Metta, for putting my face in the sun this morning! ❤️

So moved by every piece in Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home.

Remembering Home! 💔 I can feel the weight of every single one, capturing time and distance in such a visceral way. So grateful for artists! Handles at the bottom.

Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home is curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer and bringing together the works of Alwar Balasubramaniam, Asim Waqif, Ranjani Shettar, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Sumakshi Singh for the India Pavilion in Venice.

REPOST• For those whose lives are shaped by distance, home becomes less a fixed place than a portable condition: part memory, part material, part ritual, and part personal mythology. Through soil, thread, bamboo, papier-mâché, suspended forms and acts of remembering, these five artists reflect on migration, ecology, architecture, belonging, and the emotional landscapes we continue to carry across time and distance.

Curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer, Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home brings together the works of Alwar Balasubramaniam, Asim Waqif, Ranjani Shettar, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Sumakshi Singh.

Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and the Serendipity Arts Foundation, the National Pavilion of India is now open at the Arsenale di Venezia for the 61st International Art Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia.
