Events of the Week

Making manifestos

What: Manifestos have often served as a means by which individuals and groups state intentions. Could manifestos play a role in how we envision the future and move forward at this moment? Titled ‘The Artists’ Way’ it’s a series of experimental workshops hosted virtually by Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and led bypractising artists who have been using workshops, different pedagogic and collaborative methods to develop projects and ideas. The series is imagined as an exploratory platform, with part pedagogic intent, raising new questions and doubts with playfulness and sometimes involving a collective/collaborative production towards the end of the workshop. Happening over two days, this online workshop is free, participatory in nature and involves working in groups.

When: 19 -20 September (4pm – 6:30pm)

Where: Website of Kiran Nadar Museum of Art
