India’s top art historian and curator Uma Nair will herself curate some of the collections. She is also on the advisory board of the festival along with stalwarts like Jogen Chowdhury (world renowned artist), Sandip Ray (multiple award winning filmmaker), Gautam De (director, Indian Council of Cultural Relations), Nemai Ghosh (iconic photographer), Amol Ghosh (social activist) and Ganesh Holoi (eminent Indian painter).
Another major highlight of the festival will be Nair’s portrayal of Jyoti Bhatt’s work in a curated show called Living Walls - a testimony of India’s indigenous arts and vanishing traditions. Jyoti Bhatt – world renowned Indian painter, printmaker and photographer known for colorful works that combine a graphic sensibility with traditional Indian folk design will show 20 photographs of the Indian countryside.
Bhatt’s early studies of painting and fresco led to a focus on intaglio printing processes in the 1960s and ’70s, when he picked up a camera and began to take photos of rural life in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Bhatt shares with KIPF a suite of his works that define him as a documentarian, an ethnographer, as an archivist of collective history and one who focussed on artistic terrain in the lives of people who belonged to social margins.
