The remarkable art structure, Churning of the History, is one of the most recent works of the talented Mauritian sculptor, Nirmal Hurry. He has shown an astounding level of creativity in remodelling scrap into Art. In his singular and playful style, Nirmal transforms recycled materials into playful art structures and is acknowledged to be one of the country’s best contemporary artists.
The Churning of the History is inspired by the way pedestrians in Port Louis navigate their paths through the two entryways, into an unknown place or a place of great significance; it is a threshold, the transition from history to modernity and the artwork aims to draw attention to the link between Mauritius’ rich and varied cultural life and modernism.
