VCHITRAA - Iam you

What is VCHITRAA?
A series of creative efforts, including exhibitions related to social issues like gender issues, ecological issues etc. The selection of name comes as a often scorned attitude against a woman who tries to speak out against issues etc. with statements that can be literally translated like "you are a strange animal" etc. Vchitram/ Vchitraa means strange one. We believe the power of knowledge and broader thinking will remove the darkness caste by social evils. No change happens in a day or maybe even years. But it will never happen if we don't even try.

Where will it be conducted?
Any place, where we get the availability of space and we can manage the expenditure :)
We prefer this more on the rural and tribal areas, as they hardly get opportunities for educated thought process or get chance to view art forms etc.

Who finances?
Self financed, as of now. We wish this endeavour to be devoid of any political or religious colouring; as this is focused at sheer equalizing of genders through science, technology and art.

A few news articles of the exhibition:











For purchasing the digital art works, writings available under VCHITRAA series: The sole dealer of the works is White Sanctum Art Gallery.

It's been a year ...

White Sanctum art gallery was built with a realitistic though of being available to artists and artlovers alike; with availability economical and copyrighted artworks for the artlover round the year; with a easy and economical rental etc. 124 artists had exhibited their works in the gallery, as part of the group shows conducted in White Sanctum art gallery in the year 2015. The works of most of these artists are available for sale also through the gallery website www.whitesanctum.com   Workshops and art classes too are conducted here. Some of these workshops conducted for the propagation of some rare art forms like Mandana etc. are conducted free for children and elders.

In year 2016 gallery plans to conduct shows focused on social themes; as the curator Bindu P V feels that social themes and aesthetics can go hand in hand. As part of this thought process, a show titled "VCHITRAA - Iam you" will be conducted in various rural/tribal areas during the first half of the year. The show starts from 20th January 2016 from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala state. White Sanctum Art Gallery and Bindu P V wish the first anniversary of the gallery to be held, along with the people in far away villages and tribal areas where art in form of an exhibition, hardly reaches. We thank God, and all our well wishers who helped us sail through our formative phase and the first year of our existence.
