To mark the launch of No Trespassing, Ishara Art Foundation presents an Artists and Curator Talk with Fatspatrol (Fathima Mohiuddin), Khaled Esguerra, Salma Dib and Sara Alahbabi. Moderated by Priyanka Mehra, Curator of the exhibition, the conversation explores how the artists’ impressions and experiences of the streets have manifested within Ishara’s institutional setting. Delving into their distinct approaches to artmaking, the talk also offers insights into the rewarding complexities of producing large-scale, site-specific works.
This event is a companion to the exhibition No Trespassing, currently on view at the Ishara Art Foundation. The programme is conducted in English.
