Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the inaugural ‘Art, Architecture, and Design Biennale 2023’ organized by the culture ministry. This initiative, aimed at promoting art and architecture, will take place at the Red Fort on Friday, a day before the exhibition is made accessible to the public.
The week-long biennale from December 9-15 will offer a deep dive into the rich tapestry of India’s art, architecture and design ranging from its traditional doors and archways to its ancient stepwells and modern-day structures.
Complete with exhibitions, lectures, art installations, workshops and an art bazaar, the cultural extravaganza will also rope in some of the best known international artists, architects and designers. What’s more, the pavilions set up as part of the biennale will remain on display for the public until March 31, 2024.
