Kōlams will spiral out of and around Tramway.

They honour weeds, who exist to repair contaminated soils birthed from industry and the built environment.

In keeping with the tradition of Kōlams, they will be created during dusk;
scattered and morphed by human movement throughout the day,
visited and consumed by the inhabitants of soil & birds.

Hamshya Rajkumar is a multidisciplinary artist. She graduated with a BA(Hons) Sculpture & Environmental Art from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018, and Land Arts of the American West 2016 alumna.

By situating the body outside the constraints of binary structures, she explores our human place in a world where ‘nature’ is separate, dominated and objectified. Her performance work strives to reveal the spectrality of multiple scales of coexisting lifeforms as a social body.

Her experience in dance originates in Bharathanatyam, leading her to experiment with improvised dance, movement and physical performance within her defined contexts of Land+|Sea:scapes.
