Fieldwork -(MFA) Course ART641-Hanuz Dilli Dur Ast - Sohail Hashmi

Listen to the Excerpt from fieldwork - MFA course ART641
Art641 - 'Hanuz Dilli Dur Ast' (Delhi is still far away), was a pivotal course during my MFA, led by the esteemed Sohail Hashmi, whose unparalleled expertise in Delhi's heritage is well known. This first-semester course offered a profound introduction to the city's multifaceted history, exploring Delhi through the lens of its seven Sultanates—a period spanning centuries of cultural and architectural evolution.
The fieldwork-driven curriculum, focused on gathering qualitative data, fundamentally reshaped my understanding and experience of the built environment.
I've included this course in my Selected Works section here, because of its profound impact on my conceptualization and engagement with both immediate and extended built environments. It continues to inform nearly all my artistic endeavors; guiding me to maintain a steadfast, site-specific nuance to the historical and cultural narratives embedded within the spaces we inhabit.
I see the enduring presence of history within contemporary spaces
