Anant Curatorial Forum, 2025
Organised by Anant Foundation for the Arts
The Anant Curatorial Forum has been conceived as a space dedicated to unpack curatorial practice by inviting the experiences and perspectives of practitioners engaged in some of the most dynamic, critical, and meaningful explorations within the arts.
The curatorial function has evolved to take on several forms, and has become increasingly relevant as a framework not just within the arts but across other disciplines and industries, and demands timely reassessment. The second edition of the Anant Curatorial Forum, to be held on March 22 and 23, 2025, will examine some pressing issues that exist within the contemporary context of the arts in South Asia.
