Payal Kapadia's "Woebegone’s Warehouse of Words" unfolds as a mesmerizing fantasy adventure that vividly mirrors our contemporary era: a world where language has become a commodity. In this universe, words carry a cost, and so does the liberty to utter them freely. The narrative pivots when Asha and Zeb, both fifteen, defy conventions by graffitiing a wall. This act thrusts them into direct conflict with the despotic Word Bloc and its malevolent leader, Gunther Glib. For Gunther, authority resides in regulating speech itself, even if it necessitates the annihilation of words and the perpetual silence of those who dare to speak them.

Artist-designer Viraj Khanna unveiled a fresh collection of fully hand-embroidered artworks in the group exhibition titled ‘Like Share and Subscribe’ at Rajiv Menon Contemporary in Los Angeles, running from July 14th to 28th.
Viraj’s latest pieces represent a departure from his usual embroidery style, employing a dual strategy. Firstly, they demonstrate the medium's potential to deceive the viewer, resembling watercolor or acrylic paintings from a distance before revealing their embroidered nature upon closer inspection. Secondly, his artworks adopt a narrative-driven approach, capturing intimate life moments through the intricate threads of embroidery.

A writer first and now director, Varun Grover is very unassuming by nature. He is modest yet self-assured of his craft. And rightly so with the narratives — like Masaan and Sacred Games, among others — he has rolled out in the past. But after years of creating characters in isolation, Varun has finally stepped out of the writer’s room to make his debut film, All India Rank. Set in the late 1990s, All India Rank follows a17-year-old boy who comes from a small town and is sent away to study for the entrance examination of the most competitive engineering college (IIT) of India. The films sounds very earnest by the way Varun explain it to us. More so because it comes from a personal space—Varun studied at the same institution before he surrendered to the world of words. In a conversation with Platform he takes us through the making of the film.
