Kiran Nadar Museum of Art presents Next Step Manifest under the banner The Artists’ Way #1, a series of workshops on 19th and 20th September 2020, Saturday and Sunday 4.00 - 6.30 PM IST.
A statement repeated during this moment of pandemic and lockdown highlights this as a time to pause and seriously consider how we, collectively, proceed. Manifestos have often served as a means by which individuals and groups state intentions. Could manifestos play a role of how we envision the future and move forward at this moment? We will discuss manifestos as a form, critically consider the problems and potentials of manifesto-making in our present moment. In this participatory workshop, we take as many steps as possible to construct our own manifestos. This online workshop is free, participatory in nature and involves working in groups. It will happen over two days and interested participants are expected to commit their presence on both the days and undertake some group work between sessions. The age limit for this workshop is 18 years and above. The workshop will explore the possibility of further collaborative work towards the end.

Established at the initiative of the avid art collector Kiran Nadar, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) opened its doors to the public in January 2010, as the first private museum of art exhibiting modern and contemporary works from India and the sub-continent. Located in the heart of New Delhi, India’s capital city, KNMA is a non-commercial, not-for-profit organization intends to exemplify the dynamic relationship between art and culture through its exhibitions, publications, educational, and public programs. During the Corona lockdown period Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) Delhi, India has put glimpses of its Indian art collection on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. As works from the best of Indian artists can be explored online one feels to be experiencing a virtual Indian art fair during Corona lockdown. The KNMA collection started by acquiring paintings made by this unique generation of artists, “The Progressives” and through these online narrating from the museum archives and collection, KNMA brings to you glimpses of exhibition ideas generated across last decade at the museum as covered by various Indian art magazines. ‘Ten Years of KNMA’ being showcased online looks back at ‘The Black Wall’, with works chosen from retrospectives previously held at the museum. The Black Wall is not painted black. It inhabits a range of monochromatic works and their nuanced imagery. A divergent nature of elation and agony shaped the cultural landscape of India during the late 1940s and 50s, following turbulent experiences after Independence and Partition. A new generation of artists emerged, unrestrained by the preceding revivalist ideas and emboldened by liberal notions of individual freedom and imagination, they sought new forms of expressions through which ideas of modernism found most crystalline moments. Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) seeks to generate spaces where children and their families can explore art and craft techniques together through hands-on activities, gallery trails, and storytelling sessions. The Museum aspires to become a locus for such activities where parents can bring their children on weekends or after school for an educational yet fun-filled excursion through an interesting art and craft workshop. For example, recently KNMA conducted artist's workshops with Udayan Care students. Theatre artists, researchers, and educators, Anuradha Shokhi and Ashok Shokhi were invited by KNMA to conceive and conduct a workshop for the students of Udayan Care. After the informative tour of the museum and the exhibitions, the facilitators focused on artist Jeram Patel’s ‘Hospital Series’, inviting students to keenly look at the way the diseased human body is depicted in his art. Taking forward the thematic and concern of the ongoing exhibition, the artist's workshops elaborated on understanding and knowing the science of the human body. Divided into teams, students imagined, drew and reconstructed the internal body parts. These art and craft workshops include interactive programs for kids of all ages to participate. Children are encouraged through the sessions to get an initiation into the world of art through stimulating conversations, performances, art-making, and demonstrations. Kids encounter and get introduced to the world through stories on art history and by seeing varied artworks ranging from historical to modern and contemporary art. Programs include various ways of looking at the artwork, through a sensorial inquiry where they are asked to describe the work of art and the effect that the works create. Another way of contemplating is through the imagination by making up characters, themes, and stories. Children engage in dialogues and sharing their views among their peers while learning new art and craft techniques. |
