KBF Secretary Riyas Komu made the announcement while
inaugurating the exhibition of works by artists who participated in the KBF
residency programmes at Mandalay Hall here.
KBF, in association with Pepper House along with Kiran Nadar
Museum, Goethe Institute, Prohelvetia andPiramal Foundation, has been organising art residency programmes
in Kochi during the past two years.
“We have been receiving good response from other countries
for our art Residency project right from the beginning. Many artists from abroad came down to Kochi
and displayed their work. As a next step, we will send Indian artists, who will
have a short stay in foreign counties and imbibe the culture of the town and
display their art work there,” said Komu.

dialogue for artists and provide them a platform to establish and explore new
possibilities.
