Creative Circle

Creative Circle is an initiative of Art at IITGN which attempts to create a space for students across the campus to engage in experimental and exploratory artistic processes. We believe in building a sense of community amongst the students as they breach the boundaries necessitated by structured forms of art, together. As the students partake in these innovative creative endeavors, we envision a transformation in the cultural landscape of IIT Gandhinagar. ART@IITGN to facilitate any form of visual and performative art - curated or self-exploratory.

Performance by Rahul Bishnoi - ‘Every Brilliant Thing’
Date: 17th October (Monday)

About the Act: It is the story of a young seven-year-old boy who decided to make a list of every brilliant thing in life that is worth living for: 1) Ice cream; 2) Watermelon without seeds; 3) The color yellow…you know the drill. To him, this list is an act to instill hope and love into his mother who is dealing with chronic depression and self-harm tendencies.

The design of this performance is interactive and co-creative where the audience is actively involved in the play and they “act” certain characters of the story. Humour, Grief, Love, Confusion, Tenderness, bits of Anger; all these emotions are shared collectively with the participants in this minimalist performance we build under the open sky, outside the restricting and exclusivity of walls.

Note- This performance is a part of the student’s research for their coursework. We at ART@IITGN are happy to witness these creative collaborations between academics and ART among students and encourage more participation as such from the IITGN community.

CREATIVE CIRCLE (#1)
Aug 20, 2022

Today at Art@IITGN, we had our very first CREATIVE CIRCLE- an informal art jamming session, where art enthusiasts came together to create a work of art within 30 minutes through limited mixed media resources. Adhering to our motto- to EXPRESS & EXPLORE, we 'explored' multiple medium of art to 'express' different aspects of ourselves and the world.

All thanks to our Art Curator Avani Varia @avnivaria to bring us all together for this fun-filled and wholesome activity.

We plan to continue with more sessions of Creative Circle and hope for an enthusiastic participation from the IITGN community.
