Naresh Fernandes, author, journalist and Editor at Scroll, along with Suanshu Khurana, Senior Assistant Editor at The Indian Express will discuss the dwindling space for specialised writing and critique on the performing and visual arts in India. While both print and digital media are saturated with coverage on film and popular music, a similar dialogue on theatre, classical music, dance and literature is conspicuous by its absence. The performing arts typically make headlines amid awards season, artiste controversies or deaths instead of an evolving conversation. The panel takes a deep dive into the matter, deliberating over how editorial engagement can change the landscape.
Speakers: Naresh Fernandes (Editor, Scroll) Suanshu Khurana (Senior Assistant Editor, The Indian Express)
