What remains after a moment has passed? Sometimes it is an image, sometimes an object and sometimes a flicker on a screen. It is the imprint that continues to linger, altering in myriad ways what we see and remember.

In Ahmed Ali's photographs, an industrial India emerges to tell the story of a nation in the making. Camilo Huinca's chairs hold traces of lives and personalities of their own. At the Emami Art Experimental Film Festival, cinema was meant to be more immersive and also 

unfamiliar. What we consider recognisable acquires another life in these stories that not only expand possibilities but also highlight what might otherwise remain unexplored. Acting as points of departure, as old narratives reveal many new associations and possibilities, personal becomes the collective and the imprint prompts us to question what we always believed to be real.
