Bengal Biennale : Anka Banka : Through Cross-Currents

November 29, 2024-January 5, 2025

Various Venues in Kolkata and Santiniketan

Bengal Biennale presents Anka Banka : Through Cross-Currents, this edition explores the intersections where contemporary art dissolves boundaries and creates new forms. Science reshapes art, fashion merges politics with resistance, and abstract formalism critiques socio-political realities. Music finds expression in photography, while art democratises by existing in both museums and rural spaces. Artists and artworks intertwine, with self-portraits and durational pieces blurring lines. Scroll-like paintings, imagined archaeological sites, and migration narratives reveal shifting cultural landscapes. Urban alienation contrasts with rural life, as media realism exposes manipulations. These intersections foster dialogues that redefine disciplines, offering layered insights into the evolving nature of art.
