Reflecting on five years of artistic research, DRAWING NEAR,
Mohit Shelare’s first solo exhibition, consolidates arguments
around waste and toxins, underlining their constitutive role in the
systems in which we live. In this epistemic inquiry, Mohit
maintains that waste should be seen through the prism of
material history, caste abstractions, and the engagement of
planetary agents with it.
The exhibition foregrounds drawing as a thinking tool, a way to
bring things nearer.
