As part of our programme पच्चीस की पहचान | (re)art25, we hosted Professor Y. S. Alone for a talk on Iconographies of Conflicts in Contemporary India.
Professor Y. S. Alone is presently working at the School of Arts and Aesthetics at JNU, and has published several journal papers on Ancient India Art, Ajanta and Buddhist Caves in western India, critics of Modern Indian Art, popular neo-Buddhist visual culture, and interpretative framework of Dr Ambedkar and social sciences. He has also evolved the well-known conceptual formulation 'protected ignorance'.
His talk, under पच्चीस की पहचान | (re)art25 - a Conflictorium programme responded to the ditypes of Freedom of Religion and Belief in India, illustrated the evolving pictorial signification process in contemporary visual practices - building a discourse between freedom of religion and freedom of expression in Modern India.
