Open Invitation, an artistic retelling of scientific research, explores the relationship between human beings and nature; and how fleeting human existence is at the end of the day

Imagine a five-member team patiently studying each facet of 2.5-billion-year old rocks, day in and day out for a year, familiarising themselves with their curves and edges, taking in the texture and feel. And then bringing the story of these rocks to the rest of the world in the form of art.
Open Invitation began as a research project a year ago, led by artist and educator Shabari Rao. The team included artist-filmmaker Manush John, singer-composer Bindumalini Narayanaswamy, multidisciplinary artist Navya Shah and collaborating geologist Thejaswi Shivanand.
