Pulp Society is very excited to present Summer Somethings, a group exhibition showcasing a diverse array of practices on, and with paper. The exhibition is on view at B-247, Okhla Phase 1 in New Delhi from 27 April through 6 July, 2024. 

Starting last year, Summer Somethings became a platform for discovery for both artists, and audiences. This year onwards, we decided to celebrate the work of our friends in the art world, and showcase some artists from the IMMERSE Fellowship every year, and collaborate with a South Asian Arts organisation annually as well. This year, we're getting works from Danfe Arts from Nepal.

Danfe Arts, founded in 2019, and based in Kathmandu, is a touring arts space dedicated to bringing independent art practices from Nepal to the forefront. Named after the Himalayan Monal bird, their mission is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive art community, initiating critical engagement and solidarity. Through exhibitions, residencies, workshops, and talks, they foster inclusivity and dialogue in the local art scene. With a transnational vision, Danfe Arts aims to elevate not only the regional art landscape, but also facilitate cross-cultural exchanges within, and beyond South Asia.

Immerse was conceived during the challenging times of the COVID19 Pandemic by Siddharth Somaiya (Somaiya Vidyavihar University, Mumbai), Natasha Jeyasingh (Carpe Arte India), Al-Qawi Nanavati (Young Art Support India), and Shaleen Wadhwana, the curatorial caliph, as a Fellowship and Residency program to nurture upcoming Indian artists and curators. They empower our Fellows with holistic knowledge about the art world,  and capacity built through creative pedagogy.
