Dr. Kiran Shinde will offer insights on public spaces and public art in Pune – a bustling metro in India, to illustrate how artists, designers, architects and built-environment professionals can contribute to the production of visual culture in a city. He will present several public projects that his team has implemented in Pune to inspire students and staff from different disciplines to take active roles in promoting better visual culture in their cities. He is the founder of Pune Biennale- a festival of art, design and architecture – and has organized three successful editions of Pune Biennale in 2013, 2015 and 2017 in partnership with Pune Municipal Corporation. Drawing on several projects, he will discuss a range of topics around grass-roots activism, social art, stakeholder engagement and conceptualizing projects to improve aesthetics in public spaces using public art and co-creation in cultural production.
