Imagining and communicating are two faces of our existence. The duality of the present and timeless prevails at all times. The world is in flux and ever-changing, where new contours of values and meanings get written even before old ones are forgotten. And yet the more it changes - it remains the same. It remains in constant, coagulant flux with ever-changing contours but of the same matter. Art provides society with a mirror it requires to reassess the reflection of our times and beyond. In the second Edition, curators of Abhivyakti called for proposals that were on the cusp of these possibilities. On one hand, hope was to receive proposals that were reflective and pondered the times we lived in, and in the same breath, we wanted these proposals to have innocence and depth of the timeless and wondrous idea of art. The proposals were invited this time across Gujarat, which was fearful of what they wanted to say, even anxious, but at the same time had the power to initiate dialogues with those who care to unsettle the settled and to bring solace to the troubled.
