An Instagram boomerang of a seagull soaring across a vermillion sky. A Facebook story of a hammock by the beach with multiple hashtags. The ephemeral nature of social media seems to be at odds with the very idea of travel — meant to be savoured long after you have returned home. To document his journeys across India and the world, Sameer Kulavoor chooses to pack a sketchbook in his rucksack instead.

This Saturday, the artist, whose area of work lies at the intersection of art, graphic design and contemporary illustration, will take participants on a "sketch walk" at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahahalaya, sharing with them how maintaining a sketchbook while travelling needn't be the prerogative of artists alone. The workshop will be conducted as part of the Art360° series.
