"India's utopias articulate the intersections between ancient myth and modern design", said curator Rajshree Pathy. "Like the seven chakras, our visions of utopia are simultaneously spiritual and progressive." Pathy wanted mythology to work in dialogue with contemporary design developments; with leading scenographer Sumant Jayakrishnan, she explored the continuities between India's past and future, myth and reality. "Like More's Utopia," Pathy explained, "our installation is a narrative of India's diverse religious, social and political journeys and a constantly metamorphosing churn of all the above".
