Annotated Gujarat and the Sea Exhibition (2011) is a response to Gujarat and the Sea (GATS) held in Mandvi, India in October 2010. GATS presented a rich historical narrative on Gujarat's maritime history through 80 maps, photographs and objects sourced mainly from British archives. Despite the exhibition's success, the event highlighted tensions between preserving history and addressing contemporary realities, especially the exclusion of the present-day seafaring activities of Mandvi's predominantly Muslim boat-building community. CAMP, an artist collective, was invited to contribute their work Wharfage but their piece was deemed ‘too contemporary’ by the exhibition's patrons. Despite this rejection, CAMP attended and later responded by creating a new artwork—a layered and reflective interpretation of the original GATS exhibit. They photographed the exhibition materials, added new layers of historical and contemporary elements and inserted ‘missing’ images reflecting ongoing maritime activities. CAMP's response transformed the exhibition into a ‘relay’, a dynamic, multi-layered dialogue between the past and present, and between various cultural and political forces surrounding Gujarat's maritime history.
