A guide to Invited Exhibitions and Satellite Shows at KMB-5
Let not the postponement of the main show of KMB-5 deter you from enjoying the spread of Invited Exhibitions and Satellite Shows across Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. With over 90 artists exhibiting in the city, a visitor to the Kochi Muziris Biennale can be forgiven for wondering which one to visit. Housed in heritage warehouses and godowns on Bazaar Road the shows spin off from the curatorial title: In our veins flow ink and fire. The Hindu MetroPlus offers a guide to a few in Jew Town, Mattancherry. Most exhibitions open at 10am and close at 6pm. They run for the entire duration of KMB-5 till April 10,2023.

Communities of Choice

Where do I belong? Do I belong to A community? Do I belong to many? This is a collaborative project between Ffotogallery (Wales) and the Chennai Photo Biennale.
