Woke Up A Dinosaur​

About the Exhibition: Woke Up A Dinosaur

Woke Up A Dinosaur presents a playful yet critical exploration of time, memory and cultural anxiety. The title itself suggests a sudden awakening of something ancient or forgotten, hinting at the resurfacing of history, belief systems or social structures within contemporary life.

Through drawing, text-based interventions and conceptual imagery, Sarwankar constructs layered narratives that question assumptions about progress, modernity and identity. The works operate with subtle wit, inviting viewers to decode irony and symbolism embedded within everyday situations.

The exhibition encourages reflection on how the past continues to shape the present, sometimes in unexpected and unsettling ways.
