Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow: Art Education: Vision and Revision

Presented by Dr. Shantilal K. Somaiya School of Art In collaboration with National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai Wednesday, August 05, 2026 Abhay Sardesai, Sameep Padora, Shaurya Kumar, Siddharth Somaiya Moderated by Snehal Morey As unpredictable changes and altered modes of being and becoming transform the world around us and the worlds within us, schools and universities step up to keep pace with new expectations, new pressures, new anxieties. How do art schools look forward to addressing the changing infrastructural needs of an evolving eco-system with its artists, curators, critics and art historians? What are the new pedagogic strategies that need to be integrated to conquer classroom fatigue? And how do we make teaching and learning acts that are meaningful and pleasurable, and at the same time, future-ready and forward-looking? The discussion explores pressing questions about learning and unlearning, inter-disciplinary complementarity and collaborative knowledge-building.
