EXHIBITION FEEDBACK
“Carbon is so much more than just a biological backbone and an unwanted output of industrial development.”
- Dr. Akash Shegaonkar, Visitor
“The exhibition offered a lot of food for thought. It made me reflect on how we need to be more conscious of carbon and its unnecessary release, especially through deforestation and the burning of coal to power our electricity-intensive lives."
- Anubhav Parasar, Visitor
"I realised that carbon doesn't have to be seen purely as a negative entity. While most conversations about carbon focus on reducing emissions or capturing it—both critically important—we also need to consider carbon in all its forms."
- Aditi Rao, Visitor
“This exhibition symbolises that our actions have consequences and form a cycle that impacts everything around us.”
- Angana Ghosh, Visitor
“It was a wonderful experience to stay open to new ideas and promote sustainability. It was also great to meet others who share the same enthusiasm for science through this workshop.”
– Anusha Halder, participant in ‘The Fungi Trap: Creating Mycelium Objects ’
“The facilitation was very nice, and the intersection between art and research was explored in meaningful ways.”
- Vidya Venkatesh, participant in ‘The Sky in Us‘
“It was eye-opening to discover that functional and aesthetic pieces can be built using mycelium—a fully compostable and easy-to-DIY material that doesn’t even require a lab!”
- Ojasvi Bhagwat, participant in ‘The Fungi Trap: Creating Mycelium Objects ’
“I used to think about how only billionaires can afford pesticide-free, organic, home-grown food—but this masterclass shifted my perspective. I learned about people who have even less than me—those living near coal mines, inhaling toxins every day, just so others can enjoy everyday conveniences like flying back home”.
- Diya Hafiz, participant in ‘Living with Oil and Coal’
“This event gave me a new perspective and made me realise how important it is for us, as a society, to engage with new ideas—these should be the conversations we’re having around our dinner tables.”
- Suhasini Patil, participant in ‘Beneath the Surface’
“I learnt that the entire process of curating something interactive and interdisciplinary—driven by curiosity and designed for the public—can spark a shift in how people think about pressing questions and abstract ideas, like experiencing the life of a tree.”
- Nidhi Pal, participant in ‘From Roots to Pixels’
“This event made me reflect on how we can reframe our relationship with nature.”
- Adhishree Parasnis, participant in ‘ From Roots to Pixels’
“This lecture was informative, but what stood out most was the idea of viewing capital as part of the ocean—an intriguing and thought-provoking perspective.” - Nandan Kaushik, participant in Living and Drowning on the Shore of Blue Capital
