Tolstoy Farm: Archive of Utopia

The Gujral Foundation in association with Outset India supported an exclusive preview of the exhibition ‘Tolstoy Farm: Archive of Utopia’, curated by Gayatri Sinha and co-supported by Aparajita Jain (Director of Seven Art Ltd), which was held at the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi in 2011.
 The exhibition invited artists to display their reflection on the philosophy of great thinkers such as Gandhi, Tolstoy and Mandela, who changed the way the world perceived incarceration and freedom, caste and apartheid, capital and labour, independence and post colonialism. At the same time, it addressed the idea of utopia, as personal and private.
The exhibition featured paintings, mixed media art, photographs, videos and installations by 17 artists including Asim Waqif, Suhasini Kejriwal, Aditya Pande, Akshay Rathore, Anita Dube, Archana Hande, Arpita Singh, Bharti Kher, Gigi Scaria, Jagannath Panda, K.P.Reji, Mithu Sen, Ravi Agarwal, Riyas Komu and Vivek Vilasini.
 The exhibition was followed by a Gujarati dinner for the supporters of the show.
