Overview

What are the ways through which cinema can seek the truth and respond to the times? In a world where evidence has ceased to matter, what is the role of the documentary?
To find out, listen to Amar Kanwar in conversation with SB15 curator Hoor Al Qasimi.

For SB15, Kanwar installed a seven-channel film installation called The Peacock’s Graveyard. The project turns to folklore and traditional forms of storytelling and comments on the current climate of totalitarianism and violence.
Kanwar’s film is on view at till 11 June 2023.
