CHOTRO-5
Hosted by Lalit Kala Akademi-- The Indian National Academy for Visual Arts
Call for Papers and Workshop Participation
In the past the Bhasha Research and Publication Centre in Baroda and the European Branch of the Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies have together hosted four unconventional conferences in a format that has by now become recognized among academics, artists and activists as Chotro ( a shared platform).
As part of the Indian Triennale of the visual arts, Chotro-5 on the Arts of Indigenous Peoples is being convened in New Delhi from the 1st to the 5th of March 2016.
Chotro-5 will be held side by side with the Triennale which lasts from February 21st to mid-April. It will feature various exhibitions of indigenous arts.
To this end Chotro 2016 is being convened by the Lalit Kala Akademi as its main host. Bhasha and ACLALS will function as 'knowledge partners'.
Chotro-5 is conceptualized as a balanced mix of paper sessions and workshops involving both scholars and artists. The primary aim of this Chotro-5 is to reach out to the hinterlands and the remote and rural communities throughout the world as well as to establish a dialogue between the indigenous and the metropolitan and urban.
