With much ardour and gusto, Future Institute hosting “Tracing Narratives”, a month long exhibition at Indian Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

Tracing Narratives exhibition is an attempt to create a lens through which the spectators evaluated the world of landscape designs and its many connotations in the present and near future. It is an initiative of Landscape Environment Advancement Foundation (LEAF) Ahmedabad. LEAF is engaged in research and publication in the area of landscape design and environmental planning. It supports research programs of varying durations every year.

Dr. Alka Pande, Consultant Arts Advisor and Curator of the Visual Arts Gallery at IHC inaugurated this magnanimous event on 25th March. Amongst the buzz around the works on display, the event progressed with the insightful words and excerpts by Mr. Aniket Bhagwat, a third generation landscape architect from Ahmedabad. With a process based and intensive research approach to landscape designing Mr. Aniket Bhagwat threw light on the event and the works on display.

Works by widely acclaimed and appreciated sculptors Mukul Goyal & Nimesh Pilla has been put on display.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Sanjay Prakash, core mentor of Future Institute said, “The core of the exhibition lies in its aim to make the ‘garden central to discussion drawing in the initiated and the uninitiated novices. The meaning, or rather the many meanings of a garden are often forgotten, and the searching of these meanings will lead one to find the core of the profession; a place from where many forays not just in the world of design can well be launched."

The evening concluded with a stellar music performance by the Chaar Yaar group.

The coming weeks involve an enthralling program on the 12thApril titled, ‘in conversation with Architect Pradeep Sachdeva’, a world renowned architect and an urbanist. His approach to landscape designing is that of an urban nature lover.
