As a part of the CURTAIN-RAISER, THE SERENDIPITY ARTS FESTIVAL will be
holding a day-long seminar examining contemporary visual arts and
trans-media practices, titled COMMON GROUND II: PARALLEL MIGRATIONS
ON 13 SEPTEMBER AT THE BRITISH COUNCIL IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE ALKAZI
FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS.
The panel is organized by Rahaab Allana and Ravi Agarwal, Curators
of Photography discipline at the Serendipity Arts Festival 2019.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, COMMON GROUND II: PARALLEL MIGRATIONS is planned
as a key milestone event leading up to the FESTIVAL. The
curtain-raiser will also formally launch this year’s FESTIVAL, which
will be held in PANAJI, GOA FROM 15 - 22 DECEMBER.
Common Ground II: Parallel Migrations presents reputed speakers from
across South Asia, who engage with art production, activism, curation
and independent publishing, seeking convergence across disciplines
today. The seminar seeks to understand and discuss the emerging image
culture and its interpretations, as images traverse across various
media and contexts. It aims to excavate streams of the
interdisciplinary in our practices within and outside the academy,
which may enable plurality, absorption, as well as provoke us to
reflect on our embedded locational affinities.
THE THREE SESSIONS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE THIS YEAR ARE:
● Interrogating ‘Place’ in Practice
● Political Value(s) and Art
● Configurations of the Self
NOTABLE SPEAKERS AND PANELISTS INCLUDE: Ashmina Ranjit, Ayisha
Abraham, Dechen Roder, Gayatri Sinha, Jyoti Dhar, Kanak Mani Dixit,
