Let not the postponement of the main show of KMB-5 deter you from enjoying the spread of Invited Exhibitions and Satellite Shows across Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. With over 90 artists exhibiting in the city, a visitor to the Kochi Muziris Biennale can be forgiven for wondering which one to visit. Housed in heritage warehouses and godowns on Bazaar Road the shows spin off from the curatorial title: In our veins flow ink and fire. The Hindu MetroPlus offers a guide to a few in Jew Town, Mattancherry. Most exhibitions open at 10am and close at 6pm. They run for the entire duration of KMB-5 till April 10,2023.

Of Disappearance and Desire
How have Malayalam films portrayed women? These lenticular works, created by the The Hashtag#Collective, explore the changing paradigm of the female voice in Kerala and revisits cultural histories from the female perspective by invoking immortal films like Mathilukal and Chemmeen.

A Place at the Table: The politics of food, community and ethnology
This project unearths the various nuances associated with the concept of gender and situated knowledges. Women from across Kochi have shared their expressions of gender identity through mini-installations in their kitchens as photos or videos with a note. Co-produced by the public, it examines how artistic practices can contribute to individual/societal shifts. Curated by Tanya Abraham, the different aspects of the exhibition can also be viewed online at the TAOS (The Art Outreach Society) website-taos.org.in
Venue: Devassy Jose & Sons Warehouse, Mattancherry.
