Maps have long been instruments of control; used by navigators as tools to
impose order, hierarchy, and ownership. What happens when we reclaim that act
of mapping with thread rather than lines, with touch rather than coordinates?
Embroidery, often dismissed as a domestic craft, becomes a radical medium
here- soft yet subversive, intimate yet insistent. Each stitch is a claim to
belonging, a quiet act of resistance against rigid definitions of place. The
artists use this tactile language to explore how urban spaces are imagined,
built, and inhabited- not just by planners and politicians, but by the people
who live in them, move through them, and make them home.

The global narrative of our time is inextricably woven with stories of migration. It is an enduring reality given new shape by the complex legacies of post-colonialism. This exhibition proposes a different lens: alongside human journeys, it traces the parallel, centuries-long migrations of flora. The plants we now see as local were often once exotic, their global journeys propelled by the very engines of empire, trade, and conquest that have driven human displacement.
