Anant Curatorial Forum, 2024

Organised by Anant Foundation for the Arts

15–16 March, 2024 | 10 am to 4:30 pm

Lecture Hall 1, India International Centre Annexe, 40, 
Max Mueller Marg, Lodhi Gardens, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi 110003

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 preliminary iteration of the Anant Curatorial Forum, to be held on March 15 and 16, 2024, will examine some pressing issues that exist within the contemporary context of the arts in South Asia.
