Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home Curated by Dr. Amin Jaffer

At Indian Pavilion - Venice Biennale

Arsenale, 09.05 - 22.11.2026

This installation recreates in thread the demolished family home at 33 Link Road, New Delhi, where the artist spent formative moments of her childhood. The lace-like structures render walls, hinges, and brickwork as translucent, spectral outlines, revealing how architecture has been recreated as an act of labor and memory. Rooted in the tradition of women in the family gathering to embroider together, the work reclaims domestic labor as foundational rather than decorative. What was once solid shelter becomes a weightless apparition, inviting visitors to reflect on loss, and to question what home means when its physical form has vanished entirely.
