About Us
Story
The universal need across humanity to engage and produce art is an essential covenant for Universalism. We at AnamKara through the process of exhibition making would like to engage an audience for artists with diverse practices who use varied mediums, conceptual imaginaries, and cultural contexts. Based in Delhi we inhabit a socio-political reality where we witness an urgent need to participate in an internationalist dialogue in the arts both aesthetically and conceptually. India is at a historic moment in history, a country celebrated for its diversity and known for its radical hospitality which echoes the Zulu phrase ‘ Ubuntu ‘ or ‘Humanity to others’.
The inception of Anamkara stemmed from the vision of Priyanka Kheterpal. Priyanka Kheterpal is an HR professional who has worked with the Boston Consulting Group and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. After collecting art for a decade, her global experiences and consulting insight gave her a holistic view of the opportunities that the Indian Art Scene presented. International Artists were seldom seen on the scene and a space dedicated to an international exhibitions program was for the asking.
We conceive a series of residencies that culminate in exhibitions where we work with artists internationally with a focus on artistic practices from the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian Diaspora. Inviting artists to India to engage with artisans where a collaboration of conceptual ideas with artisanal knowledge will culminate in a syncretic image that mirrors our current cosmopolitanism. We curate exhibitions scenographed for an audience that can engage complex layered artist practices with simplicity. AnamKara has previously worked in the field of home architecture where we have provided turnkey art offerings for interiors. The multiplicity of medium is the chore of our aesthetic vision. Experimentation with art sets our gallery apart and our artists practices have ambitions for a community. We at AnamKara pro pose to be ‘Soul Friends ‘ to our artists, audience, and collectors.
