In this installation, Thukral &amp; Tagra explore how hate is often an unspoken, yet deeply ingrained part of personal and cultural identities. &#8220;We aim to bring attention to how hate manifests in our daily lives and in larger societal structures,&#8221; says Tagra.

In this project, we want people to engage with their surroundings in a way that encourages introspection,&#8221; says Thukral. As participants are taken through Panaji\u2019s scenic landscapes, the journey becomes an act of both physical and creative movement, with the road serving as a metaphor for personal exploration and self-expression.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Through these projects, which also include the bright red \u2018Traveling\u00a0Balc\u00e3os\u2019 that are engaging in conversation with the public about the dynamic culture of Goa, Thukral &amp; Tagra push the boundaries of traditional art and curation, inviting visitors to break free from passive viewing and actively engage with the themes presented.
