Guwahati, Sept 22: Jenjum Gadi, a distinctive artist whose sculptural practices explore themes of memory, identity, resilience, and belonging, will bring his captivating sculptural practice to Jodhpur Arts Week 2025.
The art week runs from Wednesday, October 1st, until Tuesday, October 7th, showcasing artistic voices from across India.
Gadi will be showcasing his installation Harvest of Memories with a special walkthrough for the audience on Day 2 (Thursday, 2nd October) of the Arts Week at Daspan House.
With Harvest of Memories, especially commissioned for the Jodhpur Arts Week, Gadi translates memories of Arunachal into Rajasthan’s landscape, casting fruits and vegetables inscribed with local Rajasthani motifs.
The piece becomes a bridge between geographies, entwining memory and site into a single form. Through innovative use of materials and deeply personal narratives, Gadi presents works that invite audiences to reflect on cultural memory, lived experience, and the strength embedded in everyday life.
Harvest of Memories by Jenjum Gadi marks the artist’s striking foray into three-dimensional sculpture, following on his artistic trajectory. Gadi revisits his childhood in the lush gardens of the Northeast, translating fruits and vegetables into cast-brass forms inscribed with motifs drawn from Rajasthan’s ecological and architectural landscape. Created in collaboration with a master artisan from Arunachal, the work bridges two landscapes, the green abundance of the Northeast and the sun-bleached desert of Rajasthan, into a single meditative gesture. Both poetic and tactile, the piece is a reflection on memory, distance, and belonging.
By presenting these artists, Jodhpur Arts Week continues to serve as a platform for innovative practices that push the boundaries of material, memory, and cultural storytelling.
Jenjum Gadi is a multidisciplinary artist from Arunachal Pradesh whose practice explores memory, materiality, and tradition through cast and engraved brass. Transforming everyday fruits and vegetables into vessels of culture and belonging, his work bridges personal narratives with collective heritage, connecting sacred craft traditions to a contemporary voice.
His debut solo, Apase – From My Mother’s Garden, reimagined ordinary objects as sculptural forms of nostalgia and devotion, while his recent series, Transcendent Memories, draws on the iconography of Pichwai paintings to extend this dialogue between past and present.
Jodhpur Arts Week is a premier festival of contemporary art, uniting artists, galleries, and audiences in Rajasthan. The city transforms into a vibrant stage for exhibitions, installations, and artist talks, celebrating diverse voices, fostering cultural exchange, and positioning Indian contemporary art in a global conversation.
