Indian Video Art
Between Myth and History
Programme Duration 66 min
Starting out in the early 1990s, Indian video art has so far brought forward about thirty artists who have incorporated this ‘new’ medium in their means of expression. Their video works give an original account of the dramatic political history and the rapidly changing society of the Indian subcontinent.
This programme includes a wide range of single-channel works from experimental artists who live and work in the big cities of India, including Nalini Malani, Tushar Joag, Valay Shende from Mumbai, Anita Dube from New Delhi, and Pushpamala from Bangalore.
The screening is followed by a panel discussion featuring Johan Pijnappel, Shai Heredia, Amrit Gangar, and Surekha Kumar.
Curated by Johan Pijnappel.
