These Liquid Lines
Exercises in memory, attunement and movement

FICA announces an exciting exhibition for December 2025, presenting projects and processes from the second cohort of The Himalayan Fellowship for Creative Practitioners!

These Liquid Lines: Exercises in memory, attunement and movement brings together ten exciting projects supported by the second edition of The Himalayan Fellowship for Creative Practitioners. It illuminates practices unfolding through sound, performance, drawing, photography, installation and community-engagement. These liquid lines meander through riverine corridors and mountain paths, carried by an attuned sensibility that reanimates memory and the slow work of observation. Listening is the medium and the message; here, ways of listening shape lines that meet and lines that drift. Within these shifting planes, languages of care and subtle unmoorings open into new ways of sensing.

Participating artists: Arieno Kera, Kesang Thakur, Lalsangzuala Tetea Vanchhawng, Sagar Saurabh, Thoudam Victor Singh, Tsetan Angmo, Veecheet Dhakal, Wasim Ashoor, Zainab and Zeeshan Nabi.

These Liquid Lines: Exercises in memory, attunement and movement is facilitated by FICA, and supported by Royal Enfield Social Mission, as part of the umbrella initiative, The Himalayan Fellowship for Creative Practitioners—a project that platforms creative practitioners working at the intersection of ecology and cultural knowledge from the Himalayan region.
