Art Exhibition Explores the Deep Connection Between Mumbai’s Fishing Communities and the Sea

For Mumbai’s Koli fishing communities, the sea holds generations of cultural knowledge. In Salted Caviar, an exhibition at TARQ in Mumbai, artist Parag Tandel draws on his Koli heritage to examine how coastal development and emerging technologies threaten traditional ways of life. Through sculpture, cyanotype, and archival research, he explores the ties between Indigenous knowledge and the marine environments that sustain it.
