Speaker
Dr. Kathleen Wyma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fine Arts at The University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on post-1945 Indian art, with a special interest in issues of post-colonialism and the impact of intercultural exchange in an increasing globalized art world. She has published numerous articles, and exhibition catalogues, as well as curated a number of contemporary art exhibitions in India. Her forthcoming article, “Counter Praxis: The Indian Radical Painters and Sculptors Association” focuses upon a Kerala-based artistic collective who, through a series of exhibitions and interventions, raised questions about the theoretical and political assumptions of Indian contemporary art as it developed throughout the 1980s.
