Science and Art Workshop with Udayan Care students

Theatre artists, researchers, and educators, Anuradha Shokhi and Ashok Shokhi, were invited by KNMA to conceive and conduct a workshop for the students of Udayan Care. After the informative tour of the museum and the exhibitions, the facilitators focused on artist Jeram Patel’s ‘Hospital Series’, inviting students to keenly look at the way diseased human body is depicted in his art. Taking forward the thematic and concern of the ongoing exhibition, the workshop elaborated on understanding and knowing the science of human body. Divided into teams, students imagined, drew and reconstructed the internal body parts.

Workshop with BlueJackal and artist Lokesh Khodke

Artist Lokesh Khodke concluded a 4-day Graphic Novel workshop at KNMA, which was organized around the exhibition 'Boxes in the Courtyard', with ArtReach India. On the first day, the kids from the NGO Salam Balak Trust read through different illustrated books brought by Khodke as examples, interacted with the ongoing exhibition and came up with creating their own poems, stories, performances and illustrations on second and the third day. This exercise encouraged kids to imagine sounds inside the museum and allow them to share and develop stories about these sounds. The outcome on the fourth day is each student creating a four-leafed book of illustrations and collages.

PERFORMANCE ART WORKSHOP - Inder Salim

Artist Inder Salim was invited to conduct the first performance art workshop at KNMA, Saket. The workshop was an experiment with live art, presented in the context of artworks displayed in the museum. Participants included students from Delhi College of Art, Delhi University, Kurukshetra University, advertising professionals and emerging artists.

The whole process of the workshop allowed artists / college students to improvise and inhabit the space in their own ways. Small yet vital changes occurred in the museum space in real time during the process of this workshop. Performances by the participants were unpredictable, often expressing rebellious acts and sudden disruptions to the museum-structure itself. All these acts can be read like a conquering of the space, producing moments of reflection, rupture and reckoning.

CONTEMPORARY DANCE AND MOVEMENT - Bharat Sharma And Tripura Kashyap (Bhoomika Dance Centre)

This experimental workshop produced a dialogue between two art forms: visual arts and contemporary dance, allowing exploration of the museum space differently. Twenty-five participants with training in different dance forms participated in the three day-long sessions.

Ground Rules - Sonia Khurana

Ground Rules was a day-long ‘repeat’ of a single small act. This performance event had participants from both arts and non-arts backgrounds.  Khurana invited people who can be comfortable with the experience of lying down in the public spaces. Bodies lying down in the context of a museum space allow a provocative counterpoint to the art objects in the museum, which in itself is a different kind of public space. The workshop also extended outdoors, exploring other public spaces, producing interlocking traces of images left on the ground.

It was the third workshop in the series that KNMA has been organizing with a strong pedagogic commitment to contemporary artistic practices.
