The inaugural Maroma Ceramics Residency curated by Supriya Menon Meneghetti happens from February 10 to February 20 2025, culminating in an exhibition at the Auroville Visitors Center.
Three Indian and three Italian ceramic artists gather in Maroma in Auroville to make together and reflect on the twelve divine attributes as articulated by the Mother.
Each artist has chosen two attributes and their corresponding colour through a process of chance. They bring their own voice and experience when responding to the qualities and colours, making work in their own unique style.
Together, the artists engage with the philosophy of Auroville and reflect on timeless values in an increasingly fractured and faltering world, making work that confronts the complexity and dualities of human existence
Featured artists are Margherita Grasselli, Neha Kudchadkar, Nikita Rudrappa, Stella Marina Gallas, Supriya Menon Meneghetti, and Viviana Di Leo.
