Event Description

This walk invites participants to move slowly, attending closely to the many worlds that coexist within the same stretch of the city: ecological, historical, multispecies, and everyday. Walking then becomes a way of sensing these plural worlds and the futures already being rehearsed within them.

Simple prompts will guide attention along the way: What exists here that no map would show? Whose world is this, and whose has it been? What futures are already present in this neighbourhood, waiting to be noticed?

The walk begins at MAP and moves through Cubbon Park before concluding at the Central State Library. Along the route, participants will sense and gather local, place-based imaginations of the future, considering urban ecologies, recreation, local economies, and community.

The session will close with a collective reflection, inviting participants to ask: What worlds did we walk through, and which ones were invisible to us before today?

This event is part of Plural Worlds, developed in collaboration with Lagori Collective and presented in conjunction with Beneath the Turning Sky.

Vidit Jain
Vidit is a multidisciplinary designer and researcher currently based in Bangalore, India. He works across design futures, design research and visual design. Co-creation and play are core to his design practice, through which he experiments across varied domains and disciplines. 

Suhani Chheda
Suhani is a designer working at the intersection of textiles, circularity and systems change. She currently works as the Founders’ Office at Second Spin, building a circular ecosystem for textile waste in India.

Her work spans research, operations and strategy, and she enjoys working across disciplines and wearing many hats to understand complex problems. She is drawn to the larger picture- looking beyond short-term individual problems to understand the systems around them, and finding ways to address challenges at a systems level. 

Outside work, she is interested in art, architecture, history and enjoys community-building activities. She is often trying to connect what she encounters and learns outside work back into her practice, and finding that the process works just as much in the other direction.

Currently he works independently. Some of his ongoing projects are with the School of International Futures, Transitions Research and Lagori Collective. Previously, he has worked with a variety of Indian and global design studios and organisations like Quicksand, NCF and Quest Alliance. 

When he is not designing, you’d find him walking amongst trees or singing and playing the guitar.
