Description – Many hardships are not unique, yet despite being a reality shared among many, things are difficult to talk about openly.
Method Kalaghoda to present their ongoing show titled – Can We Talk? a collection of works by Mohd. Intiyaz. The show opened on 30th July, and will run until Sunday, 21st August.
Throughout his life, Intiyaz has been in the middle of various social situations and family experiences that had lasting impact on his memories and artistic sensitivity. His artwork often sheds light on crucial childhood events related to migration and marginalization. Realising many of these hardships were not unique, but often a shared reality, he started to question why injustice is overlooked as a societal norm—and why it is so hard to talk about it openly. While camouflaging high tension citizen crises, each artwork presents us with an underlying question regarding labour, production, protest, and identity.

About Method
“ The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn, art introduced me to the Revolution! ”–Albert Einstein
It’s unclear as to whether Einstein was talking about a political or scientific
revolution, but it is evident that art and breaking away are intermingled at the core. Method is an introspective and “extrospective” approach to art and the world in which it currently exists. By acknowledging that limitlessness is an inherent characteristic of creativity, we fall beyond the domain of predetermined outcomes not only as artists but as a community. In doing so, we transpose and expand with the movement of art. This cultivates collaboration and experimentation for the purpose of expression as well as discovery. At present, Method has two physical spaces in Mumbai. Method Kala Ghoda primarily showcases fine art and installations. Method Bandra focuses on new media, photography, and human connectivity.
