The exhibition comprises three individual bodies of work. The first is a new set of photo-paintings from the series Fields of Sight, which is a collaboration between Gauri Gill and Warli painter Rajesh Vangad with roots in Ganjad, Dahanu, an adivasi village in coastal Maharashtra. In Places, Traces, Gill showcases unseen work from Notes from the Desert, her ongoing archive of images from rural Rajasthan that began in 1999. Finally, in The Mark on the Wall, Gill documents drawings made by local artists, children and teachers in government schools in Western Rajasthan under the now lapsed Leher Kaksha scheme, initiated by the state to help children learn visually from the walls of their classrooms.
