This photo walk and workshop takes place inside the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art within the exhibition Tyeb Mehta: Bearing Weight (with the Lightness of Being). The session invites Deaf participants to explore how gesture, expression, and visual language can be interpreted through photography, artificial intelligence, and storytelling through images.

Conceptualised and facilitated by Srivatsan Sankaran, the program encourages participants to engage with the artworks and spatial atmosphere of the gallery through photographic observation and image-based storytelling. As participants move through the exhibition, they will reflect on how movement, body language, and silent expression can be translated into compelling visual narratives—parallels that resonate deeply with sign language and Deaf visual culture.

The session also introduces perspectives on how photography and AI can interact with visual languages, opening new possibilities for documenting gestures, expressions, and moments of connection. Through the process of photographing and interpreting the space, participants will experiment with telling stories through images inspired by the artworks and their own expressions.

By combining a guided gallery photo walk with collaborative visual exploration, the workshop creates a space for participants to interpret art, gesture, and communication through their own visual narratives.
