What creates and punctuates home? What does home look, sound, smell, and taste like? What does home feel like? What is home to you?

Once a private residence, 53/2/2 Hazra Road became Calcutta’s home for art and culture in January 2024. On the occasion of TRI Art & Culture’s first anniversary, we open the doors to HOME বাড়ি घर گھر, an immersive exhibition curated by Lekha Poddar from the collection of Devi Art Foundation. Equal parts a celebration of our institutional anniversary and a creative homecoming for Poddar whose familial roots reside in Calcutta, HOME বাড়ি घर گھر invites its visitors to look at places of dwelling as places of discovery. Through the work of 20 contemporary artists accompanied by poetic excerpts in Bangla, Hindi, Urdu, and English, this exhibition portrays the ordinary through the extra-ordinary, showcases otherwise functional objects in fantastical forms, and explores the language of our architectural and embodied interiors.
