Living Spaces : Two Artist Approaches | Atul Dodiya & Asim Waqif in Conversation

As part of its ongoing theme ‘Art (is) Life’ MAP brings together acclaimed Indian artists Atul Dodiya and Asim Waqif in a conversational first. Moderated by MAP’s Associate Curator Arnika Ahldag, the conversation explores how the two artists who work with different mediums are both inspired by and constantly responding to the nature of space and built environments in their practice.

Contrasting Dodiya’s work that often focuses on everyday life and is driven by the stories of people who inhabit spaces (particularly in the urban metropolis) with Waqif’s works that experiment with materiality, ecological structures and sustainable architecture, this talk investigates two unique approaches to making spaces and works of art come alive.
