“India@75, India Ka Amrit Mahotsav, was a special occasion that needed to be celebrated with an event that would encapsulate a range of artistic ideas, expressive interactions, and new ways to look back at the 75 years of free India and look ahead towards the future. We will complete 75 days of this special showcase on October 24, and it is a proud moment for the artists and the Akademi,” says Bheem Malhotra, Chairperson of the CLKA. The CLKA, to give the event a multi-disciplinary approach, invited seven students from the Government College of Art and Chandigarh College of Architecture to showcase and display an art installation as part of the showcase. “We celebrated freedom in all its varied hues and the exhibition features different ideas, thoughts, sensibilities, and creativity of the 75 artists. Each work narrates a story, and it is an honour for CLKA to organise this event in the month of our Independence,” adds Malhotra.
