Event Description

Have you been interested in contemporary art from India, but didn't know where to begin? Join this

workshop organised by the MAP Academy to explore the rich histories of Indian art from the late 19th

century to the present day.

This workshop is designed to equip learners with essential skills in analysing Indian art from the 19th

century to the present. It will look at socio-political changes that have contributed to the evolving art

scene as well as our understanding of visual cultures today. Through discussions, presentations,

quizzes and hands-on experimentation with several art forms, learners will gain an overview of

Modern Indian art, and also acquire the tools needed to engage thoughtfully with other new and

unfamiliar works.

The workshop will build on core concepts covered in the MAP Academy’s free online course ‘Modern

and Contemporary Indian Art’. We encourage participants to complete the course prior to the

workshop, as it provides essential insights into key artists, movements, and socio-political contexts

that will serve as a guide for discussions. Click here to enrol.

Who is it for?

Art lovers, students, creatives—anyone curious about engaging critically with art! No prior

knowledge is required.

Spaces are limited to 30 participants, so register today! Bring your laptop/tablet with earphones, pens,

and notebook for a fully immersive experience.
