Event Description

The Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), Bengaluru, is excited to announce the second iteration of our annual international conference, "Beyond Theory: Imagining Infrastructure”. This year, the conference delves into the multifaceted concept of infrastructure, exploring not only tangible aspects such as concrete, roads, and money but also its less discernible qualities, including shifts in artistic discourse and production. The conference aims to locate the experiences of marginalised genders and sexualities in shaping arts infrastructure in South Asia. Gathering artists, art workers, collectives, institutions, and representatives from grant-making bodies, the event will foster conversations around existing infrastructure and present ideas and formats for reimaginings. Panels will address various concerns; from the inception of arts infrastructure to changing curatorial frameworks and more enduring models. The Beyond Theory conference is programmed in conjunction with our permanent exhibition VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection. Drawing from the various thematic threads of the collection, the exhibition highlights, questions and frameworks in order to broaden the arguments within feminist discourse.
