Fort Kochi might be doused in different shades painted by

artists from around the world but the celebrations will be as

much outside as inside the heritage venues of the Kochi-Muziris

Biennale. Like the organisers put it: “The Biennale will be a

complete celebration of the arts”.

Even as artists install their work in the heritage sites,

preparations are on for a larger festivity. In his studio,

Peruvanam Kuttan Marar and his troupe are finalising an

appropriate piece to be played for the opening of the festival,

that will have not just the Padma Shri winner’s drums and

percussion, but over a span of three months several other

traditional art forms. Curated by Keli Ramachandran, these

include Panchavadyam, Ottanthullal, Chavittunatakam,

Daffmuttu and Oppana.

The centenary of nihilistic movement in the arts, Dada, will also

be marked through a project in collaboration with Pro Helvetia.

Titled “Dada 100”, the aim is to “delve into Zurich’s cultural

history to foster and develop further the city’s cultural

heritage”.

Photographer Nihaal Faizal’s Ummijaan – Making Visible a

World Within will be introspective. Selected from hundreds of

photographs from family albums taken by his great

grandmother, Haleema Hashim, between 1950 and 1970, Faizal

has curated a collection that makes visible domestic and social

life in the Kutchi Memon community settled in Kochi during the

first few decades following Independence. “By reclaiming

personal memory and family history they also offer us an

alternative understanding of the practice of photography in the

subcontinent and also of the gender norms in a Muslim

community in mid-20th century India,” says Faizal.

There will be motion picture too. “Artists’ Cinema” promises to

bring the most interesting video art from around the world to

Kochi. The programme for each week, over 100 days, will be

headed by a new curator, “allowing a diversity of styles and

visions to come together”.

While the seminar series “History Now” will propel discussions

on a range of subjects, there are other interactive sessions lined

up, as well. Book launches are slated, and providing a different

perspective of the “artists’ books” will be Amit Kumar Jain

curating “Reading Room”, where artists will be invited to add to

the current collection of book art, with anything from books

with doodles to carvings or even innovative foldings — art, after

all, is all encompassing.

Kochi-Muziris Biennale begins on December 12
