In Chennai, Sumanasa Foundation’s Art Unfettered platforms five artistes who are pushing boundaries

Bringing together a diverse range of practices and perspectives from artists across the country, the Sumansa Foundation will present Art Unfettered, a two-day showcase on April 12 and 13 in Chennai.

In its second year, musician, author and activist TM Krishna, who helms the foundation, traces their journey, and the decision to begin the Grants Project which invites applications from artistes pushing the envelope. “We felt that there were young artistes we could support and encourage through a grant, to think in a far more open manner in terms of their craft and their thought processes. This is in keeping with a philosophy that art needs to engage with larger society and the complexity of socio-political issues,” Krishna says.
