- ‘Art Deco in Dharmaj’ by @priyankaaa.258 (curation supported by @pranjalimathure ) showcasing local and regional adaptations of the style.

- ‘Dharmaj in the presence of absence’ by Vishvesh Pathak (@apratyakshya ) narrating the loss and erasure of collective memory due to demolition of built heritage.
