Join us for a special Indian Sign Language-interpreted, Deaf-led guided walk of A Moving Line.

Led by Akanksha Kambale from the MAP team, this session centres on Deaf perspectives, with Indian Sign Language (ISL) as the primary language of engagement, offering a visual-first, inclusive approach to experiencing the exhibition.

This programme is part of the celebration of the opening of A Moving Line: 1500 Years of Indian Visual Storytelling. 

This exhibition is curated by the artist Amruta Patil, in partnership with the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l’image (CIBDI), Angoulême. It is supported by the Embassy of France in India and the French Institute in India within the larger framework of the Desibel project — an Indo-French initiative that brings together creators, institutions and communities to shape the future of comics and visual storytelling within India’s animation, visual effects, gaming, comics, and extended reality (AVGC-XR) sector. A version of the exhibition will travel to Angoulême in January 2027 for the opening of the Angoulême International Comics Festival, marking a milestone in the history of Indian comics in France.
