Pulp Society is very excited to present Summer Somethings, a group exhibition showcasing a diverse array of practices. The exhibition is on view at B-247, Okhla Phase 1 in New Delhi from 30 March through 7 June 2025.

Continuing our tradition of showcase resident artists from the IMMERSE Fellowship, we'll bring to Delhi some incredible, new artistic voices. Also, to showcase the work of our friends from South Asia, in a year when Pulp is celebrating 5 years, we decided to draw a loop, and bring back Sitara Chowfla: the curator who framed the primary program of Pulp in 2020-21. She is one of the founding members of Goa Open Arts Festival; and we're really excited to platform some of the practices from their festival, from Goa for this show. 

Goa Open Arts is an artist driven, not for profit initiative founded in 2019 by a group of independent creative practitioners. The focus of the platform is to support, invigorate and bring together the diverse and ever-growing creative talent in Goa through exhibitions, artist grants, mentorship programmes and community art projects. Our flagship program, the Goa Open Arts Festival is a large scale, biennial event celebrating the local art and culture of Goa. 

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.
