FICA ART FOR CHILDREN

CREDITS

Collaboration with the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) 
October – November 2017 
Goa, India

INTRODUCTION

The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) and Serendipity Arts Foundation (SAF) will came together to collaborate on two exciting art workshops for children, held in Goa – Anatomy of a Dot, conducted by Nilanjana Nandy, and Stories on the Wall, conducted by Ruchin Soni. The workshops were designed to explore the notions of picturesque Goa, the postcard version of the state as a dream tourist destination against the lived realities and personal experiences of the place that the children have. The children were encouraged to explore the spaces around them, form their own narratives, and share their visions and expressions of the city.

Anatomy of a Dot

This workshop focused on most basic aspect of anything visual – the Dot. Everyone is familiar with dots – the full stop, the dots above some alphabets, in mathematics and science. Drawing from this prior knowledge, the theme explored how artists have seen and observed the dot across centuries, continents and cultures.

Conducted by : Nilanjana Nandy
