Multiplay, at its core, serves as a sandbox for collective experiences, where multiple minds converge within a structured framework to nurture care, inclusion, and offer moments of respite. The interplay of roles between host, artist, and audience dissolves traditional boundaries between exhibition creators and viewers.

The idea of hosting conversations through play has been central to Thukral and Tagra’s thinking and practice in the past few decades. They often ask themselves on how to map art’s shifting relationship between the idea, the space, and the viewer. What spatial conditions can dismantle the existing norms of making and viewing an exhibition? Multiplay explores these questions with artists who have generously agreed to step out of their comfort zones to imagine a fresh set of situations. They invite us to model clay portraits in the dark, listen to the sounds of trees and birds, do book massages, and rest for resistance.
