Khoj International Artists' Association presents

Psychoanalysis and the Arts in India

A symposium on psychoanalysis and arts in India that brings together scholars, artists and psychoanalysts for a pubic discussion.

Khoj Studios, S-17, Khirkee Extension, New Delhi
Tuesday, 8th November, 5:00pm onwards


This symposium consists of a series of 30 minute presentations by psychoanalysts and cultural theorists on topics of contemporary relevance to both psychoanalysis and artistic and cultural production and reception, together with presentations of artworks from artists. This shall be followed by a panel discussion between the symposium participants and the audience.
The symposium is especially interested in exploring the role of eros, desire, sexuality, trauma, recovery and the unconscious as they play out in the clinic and the cultural sphere and hopes to open up a space for discussion and reflection on the role of psyche in art and culture with a view towards renewing interest in the complex intermeshing of psyche with socius.
