Group art show at Auroville unit

Explore "Of Being and Becoming," a transformative group art exhibition in Auroville featuring five diverse artists until April 4.
A group exhibition featuring the works of five artists is underway at Maroma, Auroville.
The show, ‘Of Being and Becoming’, curated by ceramic artist Supriya Menon Meneghetti, brings together five artists working across painting, sculpture, and ceramics and explores how identity, matter, and place are never fixed, but constantly shaped by transition, reflection, and growth, a press release said.
The participants are Aarti Manik, Bettina Schori, Gauri Elisa, Henk Van Putten, and Ok Upcycling Studio.
The exhibition reflects on existence as both a state of presence and a continual process of transformation. United by a shared attentiveness to material and lived experience, each artist approaches their medium as a space of inquiry—where observation, memory, and gesture unfold over time.
Previously presented at the InKo Centre, Chennai — where the city served as an anchoring presence — the exhibition now takes on renewed meaning in Auroville where the works “are shaped less by geography and more by a shared ethic rooted in experimentation, collectivity, and slow transformation”, the press release said.
The exhibition is open to the public at MAJI art gallery at Maroma till April 4.

The highlight of every edition of the Whitefield Art Collective is the Kala Car, an exhibit that showcases the creative and artistic prowess of art students. Over the years, this clever play on words has titled vehicles that have either been rescued from the scrap yard or sponsored or auctioned or all of the above.
