Hidden Area | This project is inspired by one of our curatorial international projects from Meteor International platform. In all of our previous editions we have called the program, "Hidden Art". "Hidden Art" has been an experimental exchange where the collective has tried to make a dialogue between art and viewership. Curatorially, this time we are trying to push the boundary to a further level than that. In "Hidden Area", it will be an amalgamation of multi-layer exploration and deconstruction of ongoing structural ideas about “public art design”. The purpose of "Hidden Area" will be to find out the scope and space in the city which is conflicting and contrasting at the time.

Negotiating Neighborhood | Let’s observe these two terms separately, from our local context - the word negotiation has long collective understanding especially in connection with the migrated memories around the partition history (especially historical border between two Bengals). On the other hand, the city(for this edition, Howrah) where we are planning to start up this program is a space which fundamentally a city which is known as the city’s for the working class with a culture of a vibrant neighborhood. (For various reasons, the idea of neighboring is becoming an inclusive quality this cityscape hold for many centuries - we can relate this nature with subaltern livelihood and also possibly because of the culture of leftist diaspora. ) But when we are approaching this idea as a collective phase (‘Negotiating Neighborhood’)- then we found there are other opportunities over there in terms of exploring the post-truth cultural realism and future possibilities collective negotiation.
