Anita Dube

Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018, India
Curator

Anita Dube is an art historian and critic turned artist. She works with a conceptual language that valorises the sculptural fragment as a bearer of personal and social memory, history, mythology, and phenomenological experience. In 2017, she served as the first female curator of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. She has exhibited internationally at the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki), the Yokohama Triennale, the VII Havana Biennale, the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, London, UK, Nature Morte, New Delhi, India and Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, India. In 1997, Dube co-founded KHOJ, an International Artists' Association in New Delhi. What started as an annual workshop has become a major platform for South Asian art within a global context, organising international workshops, residencies and exhibitions. Dube also contributed to the first book in the six-volume series India Since the 90s, edited by Ashish Rajadhyaksha.

Anita Dube was invited for a curatorial research trip in 2017 when she was the Curator of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale.
