Urban Reimagined 2.0 // Colonial Times

2019

INTRODUCTION

Urban Reimagined 2.0 showcased a distinct artistic intervention by Achia Anzi.

Colonial Times was a site-specific, text-based project which was conceived for Serendipity Art Festival 2019, Goa. The work was installed on the balcony of Adil Shah Palace in the form of LED-neon text and will correspond with the colonial history of the building—which was built by the Muslim ruler of Bijapur, Yusuf Adil Shah around 1500, and the palace was conquered by the Portuguese army in 1510.
