sambhaji park:
Sambhaji Park is a beautiful garden which offers a plethora of fauna of varied variety. The park is constructed in a wonderful way with gazebo, a magnificent water fountain, a globe model, a statue of Lord Shiva, clay animal statues, a aquarium, besides a old battle tank on display. A clay fort model is placed inside the park to keep your little ones busy.
If etymologically ‘garden’ stands for a place of enclosure, reclusion and isolation, on the other hand a public garden is a meeting place, an area where new, temporary communities are constantly made and unmade. The artists invited to conceive interventions in Sambhaji Park work around this dialectic between inclusion and exclusion, sociality and isolation, while using a variety of already existing elements and materials of the park. Their works invite each visitor to find their own peculiar ‘idiorrhythmy’, their own pace within the communal context of the park and, more generally, to consider their own role in a community.
