Artists stand tall with help from the rest of the arts ecosystem. Space118’s Fundraiser was founded on that fraternal feeling by art curator Saloni Doshi. The third edition titled Yours in Truth will open on August 1. Doshi shared, “We have 20 artists and over 350 art pieces developed across thoughts and processes. These artworks take after a period we have collectively battled and are still battling. The title Yours in Truth aims to capture what artists have been dealing with during the pandemic.

 

Everybody has been in a state of flux. Political issues like the Ukraine war or the Sri Lanka crisis adds to our uncertainty. Such sensitivities bring context to the show.” It will feature artists Amba Sayal-Bennett, Animesh Mahata, Malavika Rajnarayan and Neeraj Khandka among others. The display that contributes 50 per cent of its earnings to Space118 Fine Arts Grant and the other half to artists, can be physically accessed at the residency’s Mazgaon address.
