Event Description : "Reflections on All the World's Futures" A panel discussion on the 56th Edition of the Venice Biennale.


“The Biennale is now 120 years old, and year after year it moves forward and builds on its own history, which is formed of many memories but, in particular, a long succession of different perspectives from which to observe the phenomenon of contemporary artistic creation. The great mountain of the fragments of our history grows year by year. Opposite stands the even greater mountain of all that was not shown in past Biennales.”
- Paolo Baratta, President of la Biennale di Venezia
The panel discussion brings together reflections on the 56th Edition of the Venice Biennale and its collateral constellation that recently opened to the public   under the artistic direction of Okwui Enwezor. Titled "All the World’s Futures", the main  exhibition of  the Biennale poses the question of how  different  frequencies  by  artists,  thinkers,  writers,  composers, choreographers, make sense of the world’s  current  'state of  things'. 
With  over 136 artists  from 53 different  countries  "All  the World’s  Futures"  moves  beyond  a   curatorial  design  that  produces an   overarching  theme.  It institutes the idea   of   ‘filters’ as conceptual layers that partake in imagining and   realizing the enormous diversity of artistic practices that the biennale hosts.
The panelists of this discussion will closely engage with this global curatorial provocation and the wider problematics it aims to pose on the world and its many futures.  Apart  from  sharing  their  insights  from  being  part  of   the conversation,  they  will also  reflect  on  the curatorial  forms instituted  by  the artistic  director  as well as the implications  they  would   have for  the present  and   future  of  contemporary  art globally  and within the context of India.
Panelists: Eugenio Viola, Contemporary Art Museum of Naples, Italy; Jeebesh Bagchi, Raqs  Media Collective, Delhi; Prasad Shetty and Rupali Gupte, Crit Studio, Mumbai
Moderated by: Kaushik Bhaumik, School of Arts and Aesthetics, JNU, Delhi
Conceptualized by: Srinivas Aditya Mopidevi, School of Arts and Aesthetics, JNU, Delhi in collaboration with Julia Libertad, Vadehra Art Gallery, Delhi
