"Will you, beloved stranger?" by Raqs Media Collective is
a visual adaptation of the poetic works of Isareli poet Yehuda Amichai in Hebrew and Mahmoud Darwish in Arabic.
The work parses the two bodies of text in English to create a continous stream where a fragment taken from one set of poems of Darwish is followed by another by Amichai.
"When we were working on the project we had to justify the difficult regimes in Israel, regimes such as one we are living in.
"India and Israel are parallel examples of tragedies of post-colonial world in which the presence of borders became occasions for massive tragedies," says Shuddhabrata Sengupta one of the founders of the collective.

The text of the poetry in the film has also been inscribed in the form of perforations on translucent sheets of paper in Hebrew and Arabic.
Another exhibit at the show is a collection of photographs titled 'Postcards from Europe', clicked by artists from Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece that depict the yearnings of those caught in the crossfire.
