New Delhi, Sept. 14 -- On Saturday evening, the Belgian Embassy in Chanakyapuri - Satish Gujral's celebrated brick masterpiece - opened its private terraces and corridors to the public. As part of Delhi Art Gallery (DAG)'s "City as Museum" series, choreographer Manju Sharma directed a site-specific performance that unfolded across window sills, terrace ledges and courtyards. Dancers Parinay Mehra, Kunal Sood and Riya Mandal traced arcs of movement through Gujral's interlocking volumes, unveiling spaces within spaces through form and gesture. Before the performance, Giles Tillotson, DAG's senior vice-president for exhibitions, introduced Gujral's multidisciplinary practice. Belgian ambassador Didier Vanderhasselt, whose official residence is part of the complex, told HT, "We wanted to open up our place to the public to strengthen India-Belgium ties and engage in soft diplomacy. Gujral's work should be known to all, not just architects or diplomats." Another DAG initiative, "The Fifth Circle: Institution, Memory, Resistance", unfolded at Triveni Kala Sangam in Mandi House. Conceived by theatre director Amitesh Grover, the programme examined how the neighbourhood's institutions, protests and architecture shaped Delhi's artistic identity. Grover's guided audio walk, "Echo Root", took participants past National School of Drama, Triveni Kala Sangam, Sriram Centre, Rabindra Bhavan and Doordarshan. "These streets have been my classroom, my stage, and my refuge," Grover said of his 25-year relationship with the area "as a student, a director, teacher, and an artist". The afternoon panel brought together photographer-activist Ram Rahman, art historian Shukla Sawant, anthropologist Sarovar Zaidi and theatre director Zuleikha Chaudhari - a diverse group whose perspectives bridged activism, scholarship and performance. The concert by Chaar Yaar at Triveni Amphitheatre, the second movement of The Fifth Circle, set the tone for the weekend....
