Atul Bhalla’s book, “What will be my defeat?” grew out of Project Y, a public art and outreach project initiated by the Ministry of Culture, Hamburg. Centered on the idea of creating ecological and sustainable rivers in cities, the project was held almost simultaneously in the cities of Delhi and Hamburg between October and November 2011. Bhalla created a series of works around cross cultural ideas of ecology as basic elements of our identity, through a series of photographs, and text adapted from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, in the form of questions. These images were shown on the project boat in Hamburg. Published and edited by Nina Kalenbach, Till Krause, and Ravi Agarwal (Free River Zone, Hamburg, 2012.)

Published to accompany the exhibition Home Truths: Photography, Motherhood and Loss, the book examines contemporary interpretations of one of the most enduring subjects in the history of picture-making: the image of the mother. Focusing on the work of 12 international photographers, it challenges the stereotypical or sentimental views of motherhood handed down by traditional depictions, and explores how photography can be used to address changing conditions of power, gender, domesticity, the maternal body and female identity. Published by The Photographers’ Gallery, the book features Matthew’s works from Re-generation and Open Wound.

The art walk in Liège brings together photography, video and installations made in this decade, supplemented by new works. The artists draw inspiration from India’s mythology and rich symbolism to create very poetic works. These often refer to the populations living alongside rivers and the way they deal with water scarcity and pollution. Curated by Gayatri Sinha, the exhibition will feature works by Atul Bhalla and Vivan Sundaram amongst others. The artists explore the theme in the European context of a city on a river. The walk takes place in and around the Grand Curtius, the starting point, on the banks of the Meuse River.
