Art in Public Spaces in India: The Legacy or the Lack of | Panel Discussion

What stories did India choose to place in its public spaces after Independence—and which ones never found a voice? This panel brings together critical perspectives to examine the legacy of public art in India, questioning how collective memory, civic identity, and cultural narratives were shaped—or sidelined—in the public realm. Featuring Gayatri Sinha, acclaimed art critic, curator, and Founder-Director of Critical Collective, whose writing has shaped discourse on Indian art and visual culture; Shatavisha Mustafi, researcher whose award-winning paper emerged from the Zinnov–Critical Collective open call; and moderated by Kamini Sawhney, Head of Public Arts Project at BLR Hubba, this conversation unpacks absence, authorship, and the politics of visibility in public spaces. This discussion is part of Zinnov Foundation’s ongoing research on reimagining public spaces through art. #ArtInPublicSpaces #PublicArtIndia #CulturalMemory #ZinnovFoundation #ArtConference2026
