Curatorial Workshop in India

In January 2004, in collaboration with the National Gallery in Delhi and the National Gallery in Mumbai, The Museum of Modern Art organized a series of panel discussions and workshops on curatorial practice in Delhi and Mumbai. Participants included invited Indian art professionals—curators, critics, artists, and publishers—together with four curators from MoMA and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, the Director of the International Program, and a staff member of the MoMA Department of Education. The sessions were structured as discussion groups, encouraging a broad exchange of information and ideas and as much interaction as possible, and focused mainly on contemporary art—both in India and at MoMA and P.S.1.

The program was generously sponsored by The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.
