It was great connecting with you.

The Godrej India Culture Lab invites you to The Mumbai Finale of the Festival of Video Art by Indian Contemporary Artists on Saturday, 30th November 2019.

The Festival of Video Art by Indian Contemporary Artists (VAICA) is the first-of-its-kind event on video art as a form in India. Indian artists have been using, experimenting with and exploring video art as a medium for artistic expression for some years now. This festival aims to celebrate this art form by bringing together artists, cultural critics, students of art and media and art lovers to see some of the most exciting video art in the country.

The evening will showcase video artworks that seek to evoke a range of emotions. The themes explored in the artworks range from pieces that depict dreamscapes or fantasies as well as the transformation of physical sites. The artwork displayed will manipulate the medium of text, graphics and animation and artworks that comment on the brutality of an increasingly intolerant India. These screenings will be followed by a conversation between Amrita Gupta Singh, Anjali Monteiro and V. Diwakar moderator by Anuj Daga in which they will respond to the artworks and will discuss video art as an emerging art form.

The festival is parallel to the Godrej India Culture Lab’s ongoing work on questioning what it means to be modern and Indian. The Lab involves academics, activists, employees, artists, filmmakers and a diverse audience to become participants in finding the answer to this relevant question: ‘how does the past inform the present?’ Through this collaboration, the Lab will explore multiple answers to this complex question while amplifying the artists’ work in this unique format.
