Pedagogy as Art practise is a tool to explore art activity beyond the avante garde practise of intervention to disrupt and educate public from outside. Pedagogy as art practise is  a process of engaging with public and  public space from a reciprocal position of making and learning together towards a collective dialogue of individual coexistence. Public engagement here evolves as a site specific or site based conversation to unfold multiple ways of engaging with a space and user to explore art practise as a multilayered phenomenon of process and conversation.This website is a process of recollection and  mapping of different tools and methods of engaging in site-specific and site-based art activity towards a pedagogic conversation between institutional space and private space . It is also an effort to accumulate different tools of art as engagement towards  an individual and collective dialogue and exploration. This  site is a pedagogical venture of multiple engagements with different sites of diverse social, cultural and geo political contexts exploring a critical multiplicity. It explores different methods of  of individual innovation and collective interaction as a critical dialogue of making and learning. So many of the process shared are  contributions of multiple co-workers, collaborators from varied background and disciplines. It is also a dialogue with students from Kala Bhavana, (Institute of Fine Arts), Visva Bharati, Santiniketan in particular and many other institutes from all over India. So the images are excerpts of long and short term method of research based practise from an individual point of view of process that are fragments of memories from multiple perspectives of participation, collaborations and conversations. This is an archive of more than twenty five years of social and community based engagement towards the formulation of a transforming network of an invisible, unregistered ecology in transit.
