of India as the land of seven rivers" and expresses in a new way, the elements of motion, transition, transience, and memory that are often present in Mazumdar's art. In discussing the beginnings of the project, he describes a conversation with curator Sudarshan Shetty, wherein the two of them spoke about the ancient river Saraswati, which is no longer extant but lives on in myth and in memory. Mazumdar says The River "raises questions about how you perceive time and culture and the passing of a moment". He describes "water as a space of transition." The thing about a river, he says, is that "once it’s gone, its gone forever; you never get back the same water". Exhibitions Selected solo exhibitions 2017 'Undated Nightskin."
