About

Public Notice 2 recalls the historic speech delivered by Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of the epic Salt March to Dandi in early 1930 as a protest against the salt tax instituted by the British. Through this speech he laid down the codes of conduct for his fellow revolutionaries, calling for complete civil disobedience, the only fierce restriction being that of maintaining "total peace" and "absolute non-violence." Jitish Kallat, whose works explore myriad topics ranging from family life and ancestry to meditations on the passage of time, represents Gandhi's ardent speech through some 4,500 bone-shaped letters. Each letter of this alphabet, like a misplaced relic, holds up the image of violence even as its collective chorus makes a plea for peace to a world plagued with aggression.

Part of maximum INDIA.
