The Indian artistic landscape is woefully lacking in spaces that celebrate queer and alternative art. This is precisely why Opn Art House was created! This art festival celebrates all things queer, daring and norm-defying and it is going to be lit AF! The first-ever Opn Art House is happening right here in Delhi! So grab your friends and don your pretentious artsy hats! It is time to make the city more colourful and gayer! Here is all you need to about this event.
First-Ever Opn Art House Happening In Delhi
The event will feature every form of art you can possibly imagine. From art exhibitions and poetry to photography and mixed-media shows, the event will be the ultimate destination for art enthusiasts of all kinds! You can also shop for unique trinkets and give yourself a serotonin boost at the bazaar which will showcase art prints, ceramics, magazines, and much more!
Happening on November 18 and 19 at the Goethe Institut in the Max Mueller Bhavan in New Delhi, the event is 100 per cent queer-inclusive. In fact, the event is curated by Gaysi, which is one of the foremost queer-positive spaces in the country. What is more? Entry is completely free so even if you’re broke, you can walk around and take in the beautiful art!
Opn Art House is a celebration of alternative art that bids adieu to the old norms and traditions. It is an exploration of human ingenuity and strives to push the boundaries of what has been considered as art. The motto of the event is that it is looking for what art means but it is only accepting wrong answers! We don’t know about you but it sounds super fun to us!
