Everyman for Themselves
An exploration of Chaos, Chance and Co-Curation
An exploration of Chaos, Chance and Co-Curation
A collaboration between the Everyman Cinema and Central Saint Martins, Live Degree Group.
I was Production Manager and Co-Curator as part of Saint Martins final-year degree show.
The exhibition was an original, immersive and collaborative art exhibition that brought together the work of emerging sound and video artists based out of London.
Everyman Cinema is located in the heart of London, this ambitious project aimed at dismantling the traditional curator-viewer hierarchy by inviting the audiences to curate their own sound experience via silent disco headsets. Sitting in a dark room, with headsets on, people were transported temporarily as the silent video art combined with the sound took over their senses.
Since the pandemic was in full swing we were not entirely sure about the direction in which our project was heading, we constantly had to adapt to change. The event, however, was a big success as at one point the room was completely full.

The Green Room
A collaboration between NHS's Paintings in Hospitals, Kings College Health Care Centre and Central Saint Martins, BA (Hons) Culture, Criticism and Curation.
The objective was to make the waiting room feel like a calm, introspective space rather than creating a sense of anxiety in the visitor. The Kings College health centre is transitional for many reasons especially because a majority of the new students are new to London. Therefore, the tones of green and nature in all the works chosen helped in symbolising harmony, freshness and peace. Which brought us to the concept of layering which essentially prevents us from pushing an agenda onto the viewer. Perceptions were left to the viewer's prowess.
The layered approach we adopted was what inspired the project. Not only did we want to capture the generic calming influence of nature but also the connection of plants at the root level. Plants use their roots to communicate with other plants by releasing certain chemical signals. This symbolises the need for human interaction in a person’s life, reinstating that someone will always listen. From the serenity of Japanese gardens to chemical effects but also the sociological aspect of transition both plants and humans have transitional phases, nothing is constant.

Dhwani Bansal Jewellery x Neha Matheikal x Khushi Bansal
A fashion communication collaboration between Dhwani Bansal Jewellery, Neha Matheikal and Khushi Bansal.
A series of jewellery pieces from Dhwani Bansal's past collections were used to create three looks, all with varying themes. By combining elements of futurism, athleisure, femininity, seasons and functionality, we were able to create looks that explored ideas such as intimacy, individuality and self-expression.
