KERALA ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL: SPACES 2019
Co-Convener & Curatorial Associate
The Kerala Architecture Festival: SPACES was an experimental venture, to examine the contemporary affairs of design, culture and politics in Kerala organized by leading publishing house DC Books and the DC Kizhakemuri Foundation. Over 100 panel talks were organized between 29 August to 1 September 2019 at Trivandrum.
The curatorial process involved tabling a range of contemporary issues on how design intersects social, cultural and political life, the trends in pedagogy and practice, and finding ways to connect various entities through conversations and debates. The programme has created a series of panel talks for public reference.

The event was designed and built in collaboration with Designers' Community, Trivandrum and Govt. of Kerala in an open-ended and interactive format.
