to access calendar for 2010 - Ahmedabad International Arts Festival
A Floral Tribute to AIAF, 2010 An installation by Stephen Dixon Flowers express universal and timeless beauty. They are powerful symbols of hope and renewal. Flowering is the point for creative collaboration between artists, environmentalists and communities working together in Dhal ni Pol to create temporary public art works for AIAF. The Pol Project 2010 launches a three year partnership with CEE, Arts Reverie and MIRIAD, aimed at cleaning and greening of the physical space and strategies for a sustainable environment in the inner city areas. The Pursuit of Beauty Our Partners present Ahmedabad International Arts Festival (AIAF) is planned as a city specific, cutting edge arts initiative on the lines of established international arts festivals. AIAF launches with a series of specially designed arts events to be held over October 29, 30, 31 across several partner venues in the city. This year’s events build on universal ideas of togetherness using the broad thematic of Beauty. The underlying impetus is a desire for harmony and amity. On the occasion of Ahmedabad 600, AIAF celebrates the city, its rich vernacular architecture and its gracious cultural legacies, through the making, evocation, pursuit and celebration of Beauty. AIAF is more than an event based celebration. It is a coming together of hearts and minds, of ideas and opinions. It is also the fertile ground for future legacies and sustainable strategies for regeneration and arts awareness. For now, join us: Celebrate the city! CELEBRATING THE ARTS Using Filare, Navigate and Chai Patterns, (Filare, Latin – ‘to spin, draw out in a long line’) the artists will investigate the social aesthetics of the Pol. Filare will use video and other visual means to trace the ways in which the Pol acts as a reservoir of shared cultural knowledge and memory. Navigate will examine the decorative and cultural role of flowers in everyday life and ritual. Hundreds of ceramic flowers, shipped to Ahmedabad from Stoke-on-Trent, will be a starting point to create temporary public artworks which will map, define and identify the social and economic infrastructure of the Pol. Chai Patterns will examine the ubiquity of tea drinking as a communal social event.
