Sumansa foundation to host ‘Art Unfettered’ showcase in Chennai on April 12-13

Chennai: The Sumansa Foundation will present Art Unfettered, a two-day showcase on April 12 and 13 in Chennai, bringing together diverse practices and perspectives from artists across India.

Now in its second year, the event is part of the foundation’s Grants Project, which supports artists pushing creative and social boundaries.

Musician, author, and activist TM Krishna, who leads the foundation, said the project began to encourage young artists to think more openly about their craft and ideas.

“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,” Krishna said.

He added that the initiative reflects a belief that “art needs to engage with larger society and the complexity of socio-political issues.” The showcase will feature grantees whose work spans multiple disciplines and perspectives.
