Anant Curatorial Forum

A space dedicated to unpacking curatorial practice by inviting the experiences and perspectives of practitioners engaged in some of the most dynamic, critical, and meaningful explorations within the arts.

About the Forum

The curatorial function has evolved to take on several forms, becoming increasingly relevant not just within the arts but across other disciplines and industries. Each edition of the Forum brings together voices from across the globe to examine the most pressing questions within contemporary practice, with a particular attentiveness to the South Asian context.
