Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018: Possibilities for a Non-Alienated Life
The 4th edition of the Kochi Biennale, “Possibilities for a Non-Alienated Life” presents over 100 projects displayed in heritage properties, public spaces, and galleries across Fort Kochi, Mattancherry, and Ernakulam on India’s southwestern coast. Curator Anita Dube has invited 94 practitioners from over 30 countries, forming a dynamic set of social contexts and artistic approaches to share, to listen, and even to challenge the space in an environment of radical openness.
Through the Biennale platform, independent curators and mediators have created “infra-projects” that respond to or align with Dube’s larger thematic framework: “Edible Archives” curated by Anumitra Ghosh Dastidar and Prima Kurien, “Sister Library” by Aqui Thami, “Srinagar Biennale” by Veer Munshi, and a project by Durgabai Vyam + Subhash Vyam.
