SEEMA KOHLI: WORKSHOP AT PACIFIC ART LEAGUE
Workshop: The Texture Of Remembering
Pacific Art League, 668 Ramona St, Palo Alto, California
Tuesday, February 24, 2026
11 AM – 1:30 PM
This immersive workshop invites participants (18+) to explore how sense memory—smell, taste, sound, and vision—shapes consciousness and aesthetics.
Led by artist Seema Kohli, the program introduces Kaala Netra (“the eye of time”) and its role in activating memory through sensory experience.
Through guided sensory exercises, field notes, and hands-on experimentation, participants will learn how to use the senses to trace personal, inherited, and collective memories across different layers of consciousness. Attendees are encouraged to bring a small object connected to their personal history to deepen the experience.
The artist recently conducted this workshop at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), Bangalore and at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), New Delhi.
This workshop is limited to 30 participants.

Through art and lived experience, she explores how redesigning the self from within can renew both body and mind.

Thursday, February 26, 2026
6:30 – 8:15 PM
Drawing from her upcoming exhibition Samsara & Metamorphosis: The Mystical World of Seema Kohli, at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, artist Seema Kohli will reflect on themes of continuity, meditation, and the dialogue between her inner and outer worlds. Framed through cosmic dualities—sky and earth, sun and moon, within and without—the talk will touch on the mandala as a mental and cosmic structure of balance and order.
With bija mantra recitations and insights connecting a mandala installation gifted by SACHI to the Palo Alto Art Center, this talk offers a resonant exploration of art, reflection, and interconnectedness.
