Narratives of NurtureVaidehi Kinkhabwala’s latest exhibition, Portraits of the Unknown, pulls the quiet, often overlooked labour of care into a sharp, artistic focus. Rooted in personal experience yet expansive in scope, her works reflect on motherhood and shared responsibility through minimalist, faceless silhouettes. Through a bold palette of crimson set against stark backdrops, the artist captures the weight of a protective embrace or a lingering presence. It is a visual meditation that forces us to confront the essential, yet frequently ignored, emotional infrastructure that tethers our lives together.When: April 19 to May 2, 11am to 7pmWhere: 079|STORIES, Rajpath Rangoli Road, Off SG Highway Entry: Open to all——-Beyond just moviesThe return of Film Club to Ahmedabad marks a shift from passive viewing to active communal storytelling.. This month, the spotlight falls on “The Climate Baby Dilemma”, a documentary that explores the emotional complexities of choosing parenthood in an era shaped by climate anxiety. Following science writer Britt Wray, the film brings together voices of activists, psychologists and young people navigating questions of responsibility, fear and hope in an uncertain future. The evening creates a shared space to sit together, exchange perspectives and turn private anxieties into collective conversations over film, ideas and, of course, snacks.When: April 17, 7pm onwards Where: Urmila Kailash Black Box, Kanoria Centre for Arts, KL Campus, Navrangpura Entry: Open to all——-Contrast in canvasAjay Choudhary’s dual showcase at MOCA Gandhinagar functions as a rhythmic pulse between silence and sound. In “Silent Surfaces”, the viewer is met with the hushed textures of handmade paper and tonal gradients that demand a slower, more meditative gaze. This stillness finds its counterpoint in “Rhythms of Abstraction”, where the canvas erupts with layered marks and kinetic energy. By pairing these contrasting states, Choudhary maps the full spectrum of the abstract experience, oscillating between the peace of a whisper and the power of a shout.When: Till May 20, noon to 6pm (by appointment)Where: MOCA Gandhinagar, Veer Resi, Near Taj Gandhinagar Entry: Open to allTo have your event listed, please write to us at toiwhatsupamdavad@gmail.com
