We are delighted to announce this open conversation as part of ThATSA10 - Celebrating 10 years of ArThinkSouthAsia.
It has been a year since we began sharing space in our lives with Covid19. In the last one year many artists have had to find alternative careers, century-old venues have closed down, the arts have been locked down and locked out ; yet borders have been dissolved and artistic collaboration and creation has happened across the seas, newer audiences have flocked to digital performances. Where are we headed and what did the pandemic do to a sector so resilient to crises.
To discuss this critical and timely question we have Chris Denton and Lidia Varbanova in conversation with Pooja Sood.
19th March, 7pm IST
