How Does It End?

How Does it End? is a story terrain that invites you into the changing rhythms of places, time, allusions, senses, songs and stories. Moving through roots, luminance and memory, it wishes to take a visitor into the folds of uncertainty and the never-ending nature of stories that we inhabit, inherit and invent.

Spatially, the exhibit is an interplay of materials – appropriated perennial shrub Aripoo (Lantana Camara), programmed LED strips, and repurposed shipping ropes, creating an intimate space for our collective voices to be held and be heard. The exhibit invites one to sit and slowly sip the allure of what we have always shared in the warmth and safety of trees and fires – the memories that root us, the hopes that move us and the spaces that linger in their meeting.

Questioning futures of our pasts, and accepting that nothing in nature concludes neatly, How Does it End? makes space for ecologies that loop, regenerate, pause and return.

Foregrounding the politics of the locality, the work extends to a public program that listens to and partakes in stories told by Kerala-based storytellers – from puppetmakers and indigenous musical archivists to shadow puppeteers, food artists, filmmakers, and more.
