What happened in the art scene in New Delhi in 2021?
The pandemic’s second wave was quite devastating. It’s been a hard time for many artists, photographers, writers, as well as freelancers, so there have been lots of grants and support groups. Artists are moving out of Delhi, to the mountains or the sea. People want to live a healthier life and they are shifting to quieter places. For instance, the artist Malini Kochupillai, who publishes , a local newspaper in a small urban village in Delhi, has moved to the hills and helped the communities there with bee farming.
