Event Description

Join us for a conversation between visual artist Seema Kohli and Arnika Ahldag, MAP’s Head of Curation and Exhibition, as they delve into Kohli’s prolific, four-decade-long artistic journey, documented in her new book, Restless Line in the Art of Seema Kohli. Through a curated collection of essays and interviews, each piece in the book attempts to trace the complexities and evolution of the artist’s journey. It establishes her need to play and experiment with form and story-building, with references to her paintings, installations, performances, and works in the written word. Edited by Annapurna Garimella and Sindhura DM, with Anshika Varma as a consultant, Restless Line features essays by eleven art writers, including Adwait Singh, Amruta Patil, Dipanjali Deka, Katie Lazarowicz, Charty Dugdale, Gauri Parimoo Krishnan, Seema Bawa, Vaishnavi Ramanathan, Sona Datta, and Lina Vincent. These essays are organised into four thematic sections: The Body is her Studio, Our Myths Feed her Fantasies, Her Workshop is her Shrine, and In Continuum. Be a part of this conversation that will offer an immersive glimpse into Seema Kohli’s layered creative world and the compelling insights offered in her richly composed publication.
