At Interrogating Pasts, experience the multiple conversations artists have with the pasts to cherish, challenge and re-interpret it

Find new possibilities in the art world when there is active dialogue between diverse art forms to influence and nurture each other at Confluence of Forms

Learn about art projects that take inspiration from community knowledge systems and question community identity/ies at Engaging Communities

Discover how artists produce critical art that seek larger truths for our lived experiences at Making Meanings of Myths

At Thinking Audiences, understand how audiences shape art making and encourage artists to chart new paths
