Pani begets Pani is the first solo exhibition by artist Shivanjani Lal. By engaging with themes of displacement, cultural connection and rituals for return, this presentation of new work navigates water as a site to account for history. In this large-scale installation of video, ceramic and paper works, Lal creates a conversation around ritual and monuments.

Pani begets Pani questions how much history does water hold? And who is allowed to tell this story?
