Ankita Kumari

Remembering: materially, sensorially, communally.

Clay becomes a keeper of memory, a medium that listens as much as it lasts. ‘SROOT: Forms of Memory’ reframes ceramics as a participatory archive where artisans, elders, and communities co-create vessels that carry embodied knowledge. In an age where digital systems redefine how knowledge is stored and shared, Ankita Kumari's practice returns to tactile, ancestral modes of archiving, translating intangible traditions into enduring clay forms that sustain culture through presence, touch, and shared making.
