Exploring Artistic Boundaries: Serendipity Arts Residency Open Studio

At the Serendipity Arts Residency Open Studio in New Delhi, five young artists and one writer delved into their creative processes over three months. The studio showcased avant-garde work reflecting personal experiences, territorial explorations, and the interplay of memory and reality. The residency culminates in a grand show at the Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa.

The Serendipity Arts Residency Open Studio in New Delhi has provided five young artists and one writer with a unique platform to explore their creative boundaries over a three-month period. This initiative is a precursor to the grand Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa, scheduled for December.

The open studio offers a sneak peek into the innovative and thought-provoking practices of the six residents. The annual program by Serendipity Arts Foundation is designed to give creative minds the space, resources, and community interaction necessary to develop their practice and work on new projects.

Neurodivergent queer artist Sanghamitra Deb used her art to reflect personal stories and trauma. Urna Sinha examined territory and body movement through ephemeral terrains. Writer-in-residence Saloni Jaiwal documented the group's cohabitation, focusing on space, presence, and mobility in a hyper-digital world.

Other contributors, like Adheep Das, Purnendra Kumar Meshram, and Sheshadev Sagria, presented works that explored concepts from transforming elements over time to questioning knowledge systems. The residency's seventh edition provided a comprehensive look at contemporary artistic exploration.
