ABOUT In the ugly moments of history — times of conflict, war, oppression or censorship — two questions are provoked, over and over: what is good art in such times? And what good is art in response to such times?” Kamila Shamsie Art in a time of Conflict.Art in a sense may not be able to change anything in the eye of the storm but it does and must bear witness. National Foundation for India (NFI), a social justice philanthropic institution that has nurtured several civil society initiatives across India’s Northeast and the rest of the country also believes in bearing witness; “when we bear witness to conflict we also bear witness to transformation.” Given that NFI is completing 25 years of its civil society strengthening work, Arteast is an initiative of NFI to raise pertinent questions through a series of engagements on art, livelihood, social justice, climate change, communication, history- past and present, issues that have a far reaching impact on every day life of people and of the nation. |
