India Habitat Centre

Concept of the Symbol

The India Habitat Centre was conceived to provide a physical environment which would serve as a catalyst for a synergetic relationship between individuals and institutions working in diverse habitat related areas and therefore, maximise their total effectiveness. To facilitate this interaction, the Centre provides a range of facilities.

The symbol has three basic elements. The downward pointing triangle within the male fi gure encircled by the

words “India Habitat Centre”.

The fi gure of the man, developed from a prototype of a rock painting from Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh,

represents the anthropomorphic personifi cation of Shiva, the Creator - Demiurge, as the Divine Archer.

The bow in his left hand has been deleted for purpose of design. The fi gure depicts the phenomenon of the expanding

form, quintessential to the eternal repose, peace and order in the universe.

The downward pointing triangle is a female symbol representing “Shakti”. It is based on “Shri Yantra”, a general term for

instruments of worship which include geometric forms. An amalgamation of the two forms symbolize the creative activity

of the cosmic male and female energies in successive stages of evolution. It is the archetypal marriage represented in abstract form,

a key to the secret of cosmic and universal harmony.

Encircling them is the Universe, shown by the typographical use of the words “India Habitat Centre” placed in a perfect circle.

The symbol in its entirety would represent the aim of the India Habitat Centre to resolve and restore at every level - Environmental and Ecological, a balanced, harmonious and improved way of life.

Annual Art Evening27 August, 2014

The Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre,

New Delhi publishes a theme-based Visual Arts

Journal. The latest issue of the Visual Arts Journal

titled 'Creative Consumerism: Art Market and

Beyond' talks about the challenge to fi nd a magic

formula of constructive marriage between art

and creativity. Can Creativity and Consumerism

thrive in equal measure? Does consumerism

kills creativity? Can we equate abundance with

gluttony of consumption? Is Consumerism and

Creativity existing in parallel worlds? Against

this backdrop the journal attempts to draw a

balance between the artist’s creativity and

innovation - a by-product of consumerism.

Some of the leading names in the discipline

of visual arts have contributed to the journal:

Diana Campbell Betancourt, Peter Nagy, Dr. Grant Pooke,

Bhavna Kakar, Eliese Steiner, Chandrika Grover,

Dilpreet Bhullar, Suresh Jayaram, Neville Tuli

and Gagandeep Singh.

The journal was launched and the winner of the India

Habitat Centre Fellowship for Photography 2013

AwardIndia Habitat Centre Photo Fellowship Award 2013

The discipline of photography as a serious medium of creativity is gaining momentum. To promote photography as an art

form, the Visual Arts Gallery instituted an award for photography. In 2003 the annual winner with a novel vision contributes

to the discipline of photography.

Photo Fellowship Winner 2013

Arkadripta Chakraborty (28 years) is the winner of India Habitat Centre

Photography Fellowship 2013. Based between Agartala in Tripura

and Guwahati in Assam, Arkadripta is working as an independent

photographer with some magazines and websites besides working on

traditional and contemporary work from India

and abroad and is seen as an established

platform to further multimedia arts in India.

In 2014, the Festival celebrated its

12th anniversary with a wide and exciting range

of performances from across the world. The

line-up was more vibrant and creative than ever

before. The festival had modern and traditional

forms, ranging from rod, string and shadow

puppets; to mixed performances with dance,

theatre, music and more.



Theatrescapes by Shobha Deepak Singh26 - 31 March, 2014

Through the camera eye, Shobha captures the moment

of unpredictability in theatre. In a country which has not

witnessed any formal documenter on the Indian theatre,

the visual archive accomplished by Shobha is a rare

work. Shobha’s work does not fall under any conventional

set of rules dictating the trajectory of photographing

theatre. Shobha has been working in the nature of a

visual anthropologist, while re-narrating the history of

Indian theatre. In order to understand a culture, the art of

photography follows an understanding based on empirical

functioning of the sense. Similarly, while moving through

these photographs one can say it creates an aura of poetry

on the artistic legacies of Indian theatre.

New Works by K. G. Subramanyan13 - 25 March, 2014

On the occasion of the artist's 90th birthday The Seagull

Foundation for the Arts presented New Works by

celebrated the young and not so young dancers who are

on their way to establish themselves in the world of dance.

This event was in partnership with CL Educate.

Mela Phulkari: Material Culture of Punjab12 - 24 April, 2014

Mela Phulkari is a concept, a discursive space, where

materials and objects, work as metaphors, allegories and

cultural signifi ers. Not a specifi c space nor a limited space,

it is a continually fl uid moving laboratory where inventions,

innovations, experimentations are being constructed,

analyzed and absorbed. Mela Phulkari which was situated

within the Open Palm Court Gallery Space was a taster

to the vast cuisine of Punjab where many delicious

delicacies are lovingly created in the laboratory created

by Harinder Singh 1469. The material culture of Punjab is

embodied in the intricacies of phulkari.



Fabric, Thread and Art by Gopika Nath21 June, 2014

The primary goal of the workshop was art-making and

aimed to sensitize, inform and explore the potential

of fabric/thread/embroidery as art. In addition, the

programme also served to create a better awareness

of textiles, towards appreciation of the existing crafting

traditions in India and the textile legacy we have inherited.

Exhibition of David Gerstein06 - 15 May, 2014

Bruno Art Group Israel presented Solo Exhibition

of David Gerstein from Israel, Poetics of Memories,

Sculptures. David Gerstein is an outstanding Israeli

as well as internationally renowned artist. He creates

universal, colourful and layered imagery of still-life

compositions, urban landscapes and human activity.

His versatile body of work consists among others of

indoor metal wall sculptures formed as multi-layered

cut-outs, outdoor works, paintings and sculptures. His

art works have been included in major museums and

private collections in Israel and abroad. The range

of circumstances, both artistic and popular, under

which the public has been exposed to Gerstein's

work in the past years, i.e. the statues and cut-outs,

as well as his overfl owing presence, speak of the

community's deep need for this type of creation. The

work of a virtuoso artist, who is neither theoretical

nor topical in the publicist, period-related sense, but

"simply an artist" in the sense of the word.

'Om Tat Sat – A Tryst with Divinity' A Solo Photography Exhibition by Sharat Sharma, Curated by Kamal Naini25 - 31 October, 2014

'A Tryst with Divinity' featured a photographic tribute to

India’s magnifi cent landscapes by Sharat Sharma, Director

Operations of Delhi Metro. The artist believes that only two

things matter - your positivity, when you have nothing & your

humility, when you have everything! Photography, for him,

began as a hobby and grew into a passion, as he deployed

his analytical skills to capture and reproduce the magic of

nature’s sublime beauty, in all its unpredictable forms.



Art Workshop by Rohit Kumar SharmaAs part of the India Habitat Centre’s outreach

programme, the Visual Arts Gallery continued to

conduct its quarterly ‘Art Workshop’, all through the

year. The workshops are conducted by Rohit Sharma,

a graduate from the College of Art, University of Delhi.

The workshop is conceived with the idea to promote

discipline of arts among people with a special

focus on drawing and sketching. It helps art lovers

of all age groups, ranging from art students to

school-going children who are keen to learn art at

young age, retired citizens trying to get in touch to

explore their creativity.

Zen of Photography by Achal KumarThis photography workshop introduces the basics of

photography as a discipline. It is open to members of IHC.
