Event Description : 'To Let The World In' film screening based on the contemporary Indian art.
A two-volume film project, it looks at a significant period in the history of contemporary Indian art from the early 1980s to the present day. The film features three generations of celebrated Indian artists who share recollections, reminiscences and concerns about their practice. The conversations are intimate, with interviews conducted by art historian and curator Chaitanya Sambrani and filmed by film maker Avijit Mukul Kishore, who is a regular collaborator on film and video based installation art projects. What emerges through this exercise is an invaluable document of some landmark moments in Indian art history in the last three decades. The wise and relaxed eloquence of the artists in the first volume of the film gives way to a raw edginess in the second, as they reflect on the changing contexts in art production, the intricate connections between art and political history and the age old questions regarding patronage and recognition.

To Le t The Wor ld In, Volume 2 (Engl i sh and Hindi/2013/53mins)
