'100 X 100 = 900' - A Video Art Project by Magmart, Italy to celebrate 50 years of Video Art

INTUITIVE VOICES  (Synopsis)
In the quest of freedom and democracy during the earlier part of 20th century, India witnessed a transitional phase in the socio-political scenario. When the world was embracing new scientific and technological developments, India was waking up for a new wave of change. It was the time when Gandhi was detained and the agitation took many ups and downs; ‘Swaraj Party’ gathered steam by a group of people who sought a more aggressive approach. The voices were many, opinions varied, paths differed; yet the sense of determination and a specific destination kept everyone in a single thread.



WOODCUT Workshop, NGMA, Bengaluru

NGMA, Bengaluru hosted the show 'BETWEEN THE LINES: Identity, Place and Power'-  selections from the Waswo X. Waswo Collection of Indian Printmaking, curated by Lina Vincent Sunish from 28 April - 28 May, 2008. It was a remarkable show considering the volume of works ranging from early 20th century till date and also being a print show of this kind happening first time in the history of NGMA and Bangalore as well. The month long show received tremendous response which included a number of outreach programmes. The workshop on basic Woodcut Printmaking Technique was conducted by Urmila and myself on 19 May, 2013 at the premises which turned out to be a great success with more than 30 art enthusiasts participating in it. Following are the few images from the workshop:
