Hear our grantees speak about Past Forward: Celebrating Critical Practices
and their projects supported under the Arts Practice programme in the video below
In the past five years, IFA has supported more than 60 projects under its Arts Practice programme. In an attempt to bring together most of our grantees and their projects supported under this programme to our home city, we brought together 40 diverse artistic expressions in a festival through panel discussions, performances, film screenings, workshops and exhibitions, in collaboration with Bangalore International Centre (BIC) over three days from October 30 to November 01, 2019.
Watch the Short Film to catch brief glimpses into some of the exciting events at Past Forward: Celebrating Critical Practices.
We are also pleased to bring videos of some of the conversations at the festival for you to watch and share with your network.
