Ep 1: 10 Years of Kiran Nadar Museum of Art

India's first major private museum of modern and contemporary art, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi reopens on 5 January 2021 after a period of closure in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic. I speak to Akansha Rastogi, Senior Curator (Exhibitions & Programs), KNMA about a decade of institutional programming, her own curatorial practice within the museum space and of course the stakes and possibilities of the museum as a political and social site in 2020, now 2021, against the backdrop of movements for racial and caste justice and the COVID-19 crisis.  Click here to access the image guide:  https://sites.google.com/view/artalaap-podcast-resources/episode-1.     Credits:  Producer: Tunak Teas  Design & artwork: Mohini Mukherjee  Marketing: Dipalie Mehta  Musical arrangement: Jayant Parashar  Audio courtesy: Vernouillet by Blue Dot Sessions [CC BY-NC 4.0]  Images: Kiran Nadar Museum of Art  Additional support: Kanishka Sharma, Amy Goldstone-Sharma, Raghav Sagar, Shalmoli Halder, Arunima Nair  References:  Saloni Mathur, India by Design: Colonial History and Cultural Display, University of California Press, 2007.  Nancy Adajania, ‘New Media Overtures before New Media Practice in India’, in Gayatri Sinha (ed.), Art and Visual Culture in India 1857-2007 (Mumbai: Marg Publications, 2009).
