I tried to combine my research in this exhibition that showcases the significance of printmaking as an art medium by bringing works from 60 artists in different sections like academic practice, book, digital and alternative practices, and 3-d printing."
Adding that the show also brings in reproductions that discuss the popular misconception of a print being a re-production, Kakar adds, "We have objects from history to build a narrative of how the medium of printmaking, or the act of talking a print has undergone various changes and in turn has impacted what it means to print. The artists being exhibited are from various parts of country that offers the viewers an opportunity to experience printmaking works from centers like Goa, Kolkata, Chennai, Baroda, Mumbai, Raipur, Santiniketan, etc."
