Our board member Luigi Galimberti has recently visited Res Artis member Cyril P Jacob at the residency Palette People in the magnificent hills of Kerala, India, during the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018. Luigi is currently Collection Care Research Manager at Tate in London. Previously he has been the director of Transnational Dialogues, an exchange and research programme for artists, curators, designers and architects across Brazil, China and several European countries from 2012 to 2016. Transnational Dialogues is run by the NGO European Alternatives, which Luigi has been collaborating with since 2006. He thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet our member Cyril P Jacob and the artists in residence during his time spent at Palette People. Founded in 1991, Palette People International Art Foundation is a registered charitable organisation in the state of Kerala in India. Initially formed as an organisation to promote and support artists, Palette People have been conducting exhibitions, camps, seminars and talks for artists as we all as supporting artists financially. The residency is in a remote location in Vagamon an upcoming hill station in the western ghats of Kerala (105 km from Kochi) – a region well known for its Biodiversity. |
