Curatorial Intensive South Asia 2018

Curatorial Intensive South Asia (CISA), in its second year, is a fellowship for young curators from South Asia. The program aims to develop a diversity of perspectives on the medium of the exhibition and to provide both a structured and an experimental inquiry into the possibilities of curatorial practice today. CISA aims to support creative thinking by building an institutional infrastructure for making and exhibiting contemporary art.

The first phase of the fellowship is a two-week intensive programme at Khoj Studios from July 16th – 29th 2018.  In the second phase the fellows will have the opportunity to independently develop curatorial projects over a period of six months during which they will be mentored by the programme leaders, culminating in exhibitions in December 2018.

The inaugural CISA fellows are Anuj Daga (India), Aziz Sohail (Pakistan), Hediyeh Azma (Iran), Naveen Mahantesh (India), Nayomi Apsara (Sri Lanka), Nayantara Gurung Kakshapati (Nepal), Rahul Gudipudi (India), Sania Galundia (India), Sharareh Bajaria (Nepal), Shimul Saha (Bangladesh), Sumedha Bhattarcharya (India), Sumitra Sunder (India), Yasaman Tamizkar (Iran)

The programme is led by Dr. Leonhard Emmerling and Natasha Ginwala with various guest lecturers from around India.
