All cities are a clichés. So, how might one avoid those cliched responses to documenting them? Could there be creative, out-of-the-box, ways of looking at our cities?

The talk would aim to address these through presenting a series of works and discussing how they came to be – from the germ of the ideas to their execution. Chirodeep’s work emerges from his long and constant engagement with his home city of Bombay. The talk would also attempt to illustrate and throw light on the merits and challenges of such a process of long-form narrative.
