Sarjapura Curries is the project of artist, Suresh Kumar G. Suresh grows rare varieties of greens and vegetables in the villages of Sarjapura Hobli, Anekal Taluk. During this workshop, he will highlight edible and indigenous greens and veggies which are commonly found and usually referred to as weeds. To conserve these varieties and the traditional knowledge around them, Suresh will take us through methods to adopt them into our gardens and diets. This is a rare opportunity to learn recipes to cook with these greens, and you will also get to taste along the way!

More on making of sarjapura curries as community building project.

Dear Friends,

Join us for a conversation on Sarjapura Curries with Suresh Kumar G. (Artist, Arts Facilitator, Gardener) and Ayisha Abraham (Artist & Arts Consultant), hosted on Zoom and Facebook Live!

Sarjapura Curries (founded in 2018-19) is a homegrown art and farm project conceived and handcrafted by the artist, Suresh Kumar G. The farm revives and conserves lost varieties of greens and vegetables, and is also an artistic approach to creating green areas with minimal intervention of machines. The project brings urban and rural communities together to share, harvest, and exchange seeds and saplings, with the idea is to provide healthy food-growing options to everyone.

An interdisciplinary artist, educator, and co-founder of artist-led residencies including BAR1 (the oldest Bangalore-based residency program in India) Samuha, and SARLA, Suresh’s interest in soil and safe food became a subject of research. After many years of a practice that defied categories and pushed at the boundaries of art-making, he moved back to the periphery of the city of Bangalore, in sub-urban Sarjapura, returning to the same place he came from. He began to cultivate a plot of land, embracing the role of a not-for-profit agriculturalist. Like many like-minded creative people in the contemporary world, he is interested in finding more humane ways of growing and distributing nourishing food outside the hegemonic corporate model of production and consumption. Over the years, Suresh has focused on fostering creative exchanges within and without the artistic community.

It is often said that the art system is a privileged subset of society. However, the artist never really found comfort in this notion. Suresh’s experiments with the idea of art in relation to the concept of community and everyday life that is less exclusive, more just, and more inclusive, is what excites and motivates him, providing an energizing creative purpose and force.
