Paribartana Mohanty & Kjell Caminha

Paribartana Mohanty (New Delhi) is a storyteller, who works with a variety of mediums including video, performance, painting and sculpture. Based on a place or a situation, he examines layers of time and activity in the city. Oral storytelling, street painting and cooking serve as methods for participants and audiences to meet in Mohanty’s art.

“WALK ON THE GRID: Yantras and Choreographies” is the title of Paribartana Mohanty’s investigation in Kungsbacka.

Kjell Caminha is an artist from Brazil, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He works with specific focus on the development of curatorial strategies as means for furthering decolonial dialogue – an orientation informing both his artistic practice and pedagogical work.

More recently, Kjell Caminha has started to investigate how decolonial may find potential social impact in curating and organizational modes. This has led him to explore public art schemes and commissioning strategies that are led by civil society groups or communities may prove to expose, experiment and embed ideas on pluriversality, agency building. Community governance, shared authorship and belonging that could be interrogated as a form of catalyst for future decolonial practices.

In Kungsbacka, Kjell will be working with artist Paribartana Mohanty, enquireing, reflecting and supporting artistically in the process and interventions on site.
