Film Screening: Pottery House by Mansi Bhatt

About the Experience

Join us for a screening of Pottery House by Mansi Bhatt, an experimental film that explores memory, heritage, and architecture through the remains of a demolished home on the Khodiyar Pottery Estate. In this layered journey, Mansi blurs, overlays, and sutures objects and images, reanimating her family’s former house until its curves and textures become tangible once more. The film asks: what happens when a place transforms into a state of irrecognition—or disappears altogether along with the boundaries that once defined it? Following the screening, join architect and theorist Dr. Kaiwan Mehta for a discussion on the idea of Home, between memory and culture. Together, they will reflect on how architecture shapes human experience and the importance of recognising built environments as vessels of history and imagination. This programme is presented in celebration of World Architecture Day, 6 October.
