Up, Close & Centre

In this session of Up, Close & Centre, Arnika Ahldag (Director – Curation & Exhibition at MAP) will elaborate on an artwork from MAP’s latest exhibition, Vaanyerum Vizhuthugal: Roots that Reach for the Sky.

Initially exhibited as part of the Chennai Photo Biennale 2024-2025, for MAP this is the first ever group exhibition dedicated to contemporary photography and lens-based practices. Curated by Jaisingh Nageswaran, Vaanyerum Vizhuthugal (translating to “Roots that Reach for the Sky”) brings together the works of twelve lens-based artists of Tamil origin who push the boundaries of photography and visual storytelling.

This is a drop-in session. There is no registration required.
