This video features a thought-provoking conversation between curator and artist Raju Sutar and noted scholar-artist Dr. Deepak Kannal (Baroda), exploring the intersecting worlds of Prabhakar Barwe and Paul Klee. Through reflective dialogue, the discussion sheds light on two modern masters who, across continents and contexts, shaped abstract and conceptual languages rooted in imagination, symbolism, and metaphysics. The project, “Intersections & Interventions: Barwe & Klee,” jointly curated by Raju Sutar and Mira Hirtz, brings together international perspectives on art, philosophy, and creative interpretations of form. Join us in tracing a journey that moves between India, Germany and Switzerland, modernism and the transcendental, interventions and intersections—revealing how art continues to converse beyond time and geography. The exhibition Intersections & Interventions: Barwe & Klee has been organised in cooperation of Zapurza Museum of Art and Culture, Pune and the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern.

  • What if Paul Klee was from India, and Prabhakar Barwe hailed from Switzerland? How would our understanding of art history shift if we freed it from the boundaries of national origin? In this video, we explore a radical rethinking of art history — one that resists linear timelines, national labels, and conventional ideas of influence. Instead, we imagine a web of interconnected practices, where styles, philosophies, and ideas circulate without a fixed point of origin.
