Ritaban Ghosh

Ritaban Ghosh of Sudden Council, deploys queries into the cusps of the contemporary rippling across pluralities of time. Through video, sculpture, image, and text, he ponders the scape between the seen and imagined and their intervening capacity, with compassionate scrutiny. Negotiating perimeters of power, evidence and historical conjecture, he segues into diverse discourses of threshold and insolvability to chart the voyage to artisthood.
Working with broken Buddha, trampled snakes, yellow nights, and disinherited identities, it never ceases to amaze him how we exist and continually adapt ourselves to any and everything and never be the same person again.

Of dusty hydraulics and resonating selves

by: Ritaban Ghosh

Coal mines at Deucha Pachami in West Bengal, interrupts the ecosystem, manifesting unsettling velocities of economy, disinheritance, and toxicity. This work examines these ruptures as polyaxial densities to realise how intensities of collectivity and resistance activate forcelines of peripheralized epistemes and transformations of power.
