As the Kochi Muziris Biennale turns 10 this December, Bose Krishnamachari, president of the Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF), says that it is at once a time to celebrate as also for deep reflection.
“As every institution must, we are also constantly thinking about building a more agile, accommodative structure that is able to host a diversity of people and practices across various formats. We have always wanted to extend ourselves beyond the exhibition format to be a space of thought, sharing, mediation, and knowledge production. We remain grateful to the Government of Kerala and all our patrons and supporters for their unwavering, unconditional support and look forward to welcoming you to Fort Kochi from December, until April 2023,” he was quoted as saying in a press communication.
Led by Director of Programmes, Mario D’Souza, the discursive and programmes mandate of the foundation will also evolve into a fluid, open framework that encourages slow, considered production and invests in co-building ecologies of care.
