Fulcrum is a space where interdisciplinary dialogues on culture, politics, history, film and art emerge through exhibits, screenings, writings, and learning. The space serves as a platform for audiences and practitioners to engage in open dialogue and aims to contribute to the ecosystem of cultural practice.
Trained as both a painter and an art historian, Bharathesh GD works across painting, sculpture, video, sound, and conceptual practice to interrogate the power and politics of images. Raised in Davangere, Karnataka—an industrial hub shaped by mill workers, cotton traders, and a thriving cinema culture—he grew up painting film banners and splicing reels alongside his father, a cinema cutout artist and projectionist. These early encounters with the tactile infrastructures of image-making—plywood, poster paint, projection reels—form the scaffolding of a practice deeply attuned to spectacle and its subversion.
