Venue: IAF Auditorium, NSIC Grounds, OKHLA
Ushmita Sahu will be conversing with India Art Fair Artists-in-Residence 2025 — Imon Phukan, liactuallee and Umesh S — about their artistic practices, which touch upon intangible cultural heritage, agrarian complexities of rootedness and how craft can be the language of speaking across generations. They try to understand how and why this sense of belonging is being explored across the registers of grief and memory, land and space, fluid identities and ecology.
The IAF 2025 Talk Series, Growing Focus, supported by JSW, brings together global voices to explore South Asia’s evolving presence in contemporary art, design, and culture. Curated by Shaleen Wadhwana, this thought-provoking series highlights the transformative role of the People of the Global Majority, offering bold perspectives on art, identity, and inclusivity.
