KCC in collaboration with Emami Art presents a unique four-part workshop as a public-facing event under Re:Figuring – the ongoing group exhibition by Emami Art.
Beginning with a simple personal story on the first day, participants will spend a week photographing everyday moments. At the second session, each person will bring at least 100 printed photographs to the table. Therein the real work begins: to review, arrange, and transform these images into a photo diary or digital book, thus offering a rare space to look closely at what we make, how we see, and why we remember.
As a part of Re:Figuring, this workshop invites participants to reflect on the figure not only as a visual subject but as a process — something shaped, rearranged, and brought into being through selection, sequence, and context. The photobook becomes a space where stories of the everyday unfold as visual bodies — unstable, entangled, and open to new meaning.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

His graduation project 1528, which investigates extrajudicial killings in Manipur, received the Alkazi Photobook Award in 2017. In 2018, he was awarded the Magnum Foundation Social Justice Fellowship and was selected for the Joop Swart Masterclass in 2020. Saha is a member of the Bad Eyes Collective.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Re:Figuring (25 April – 21 June 2025) showcases some of the recent works by ten contemporary visual art practitioners working across media such as painting, sculpture, drawing, video, prints and photography. At the core of the exhibition lies a pressing question: What does a figure objectify? Through diverse approaches, from hyper-figurative renderings to fragmented, semi-abstract forms and documentation, the exhibition interrogates the complex rendering of figures in the real, imagined, or psycho-social spaces they inhabit.
