It includes a group of artists as /karavans/ and a group of non-artists as the artists' colleagues. The Art Karavan project set out on its journey from Shantiniketan, West Bengal on 12 February, 2010 with it culminating in Delhi on 12 April, 2010. At each space (a small hamlet) the participants camp for a week and create spontaneous interaction with the public. This is an event to realize a new intimacy between music, installation art, theatre, performance art, painting, ( both contemporary/folk ), sculpture, media, poetry, literature, blogging, discourse, etc. in a camp(s) or even while traveling from one destination to the other. *To know more click here: * http://artkaravan.wordpress.com/about/ ** *** Inder Salim* is a performance artist based in Delhi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *[[END OF NEWSLETTER]]* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
