Agriforum, with FICA (Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art)
The AgriForum is an ongoing platform hosted by FICA, involving a set of discussants – artists and art collectives – working with the agrarian as a site, seeking to bring together varied critical inquiries, multiple propositions, and diverse practices. FICA organised an artist residency with the Gram Art Project in Paradsinga, Madhya Pradesh.
Their proposed programme in Paradsinga aimed at streamlining certain discursive points for the participating artists and their art practices, while
also learning from and adding to the work Gram Art Community has been doing for over 9 years.

They envisioned their time in Paradsinga as allowing us to learn closely from and listen to the unfoldings of a site, its inhabitants, its collaborators and projects, and its constantly simmering ideas and processes.
