The Anchal Post Runners ran with postal bags balanced on their heads and carried a two-foot staff with bells attached. When people heard the bells coming down the road, they made way.
The Students Biennale supported by Tata Trusts, running alongside the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, has always been a space where tomorrow's artistic giants take their first bold leaps. This year's edition brings together young artists from art schools across India—each with stories that demand to be heard.
Between despair and renewal: a charcoal self-portrait dissolving in loneliness, landscape paintings shifting toward light. Rakesh Y.M. holds both truths—isolation and resilience.
Time leaves traces in subtle ways—aging, dissolving, eroding. Krishna Murthy P S works with seeds, spines, and soil to explore cycles of growth, dissolution, and return.
Play with the dolls. Move them around. Three Kerala artists transform intimate spaces into sites of queer inquiry—fabric tents of chosen family, playgrounds beyond the binary, and self as subject.
Vivid palette, surreal dreamscapes, queer lovers in everyday moments—Shakibul Islam etches the portrait of the queer family into contemporary Indian life's visual language.
Termite traces, sawdust figures, cow dung and plastic—four artists gather what is often discarded, assembling a slow archive of impermanence that refuses disappearance.

Through spectral architecture of transparent layers and shifting shadows, Honey Thomas makes visible the unseen nature of domestic life—the labour, presence, and time embedded in home.
Two artists present distinct approaches to storytelling: Aswathy G S critiques domestic labour through terracotta, while Imran Ahamed paints dreamlike tableaux between memory and imagination.
Three artists from Andhra Pradesh explore what it means to belong—to pottery as inheritance, to the endangered Banjara community, to the farmer's cycle that carries dreams.
Nights in a crumbling hostel, weak staircases, constant vigilance—Pratik Khurkutiya's sculptures and paintings trace how fear embeds itself in the body long after we've left dangerous spaces.
