Intervention (crime scene) by Soma KabirajKochi-Muziris Biennale

In Soma's own words, she questions, "How unusual things come into a landscape and how they are dominating the natural elements?"

"How the landscapes are turning to the cityscapes?"

"How they are spreading their spaces through human beings?" 

The Students’ Biennale seeks to complement and strengthen the fine arts education system in India and is the largest educational initiative of the Kochi Biennale Foundation.
