Available Artworks from Tribambuka

This is a part of Tribambuka's recent solo show Palimpsest, a collection of mixed media collages, that act as a record of memory, presence, and absence. Interweaving fragments of personal and collective stories, the exhibition explores the shifting patterns between us and the fragile traces that remain.

Anastasia’s work inhabits overlapping thresholds, where lives and histories bleed into one another, forming a perceptual overlay that she names her palimpsest: a map of the subconscious inscribed in fragments.

The materials that ground Anastasia’s works are themselves marked by complex histories. Samizdat papers typed on by her grandmother in Soviet Leningrad during the 1980s reappear here, responding to children’s letters written to socialist magazines. Once serving as instruments of propaganda, these are now reclaimed as fragile relics of resistance and play. They are brought into dialogue with fragments gathered during Anastasia’s later travels; train tickets from Indian, Tamil newspapers, handprinted monotype textures, and sketchbook musings. All of which slip into Anastasia’s palimpsest of broken houses and phantom histories.
