Art & Life: Explorations in Visuality, Listening and the Structures of Experience

Sep 3 - 7, 2018
11am - 5pm daily
Course Fee: INR 2500
Maximum number of participants: 15 persons


This module is a five-day interdisciplinary workshop – structured, intensive, yet exploratory and adventurous – on the various ways in which responding to the arts can lead to the examination and enrichment of life. It will use literature, fine arts, design, music, cinema and conversation to open up the ways in which we experience and produce the structures and content of our everyday lives of reflection, interaction, imagination, memory and productivity. The workshop will create a shared space of directed activities in which rigour and pleasure, difficulty and delight, precision and openness, would combine to sustain an atmosphere of humane possibilities, free of academic intimidation as well as professional competitiveness. It is designed for people from a wide range of professions who are dissatisfied with the manner in which living, working, learning and thinking end up being divided into different disciplines, systems, institutions and hierarchies. Upon confirmation, candidates are expected to attend the full session on all days of the selected module.
