Tagore Pedagogy and Visual Cultures

The Tagore, Pedagogy and Contemporary Visual Cultures network brings together a group of leading international academics and visual arts practitioners to discuss and explore the legacy and continuing relevance of Indian poet and polymath Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) for contemporary art practice and visual culture. The group, made up of artists, curators and cultural theorists from Europe and India, has come together because they share an interest in exploring Tagore’s legacy and influence from different disciplinary backgrounds, often taking unorthodox approaches in order to think outside of the established conventions of Tagore scholarship. Tagore Pedagogy and Contemporary Visual Cultures is Directed by Andrea Phillips in collaboration with Grant Watson, Curator at Iniva. The project is funded by an AHRC International Network Grant
