International Workshop on “The Artist Within the Practice”

The School of Architecture & Design (SOAD) organised an international workshop titled “The Artist Within the Practice,” conducted by Spanish contemporary artist Elvira Martos in collaboration with Gallery ONKAF, New Delhi, as part of the Design 2030 International Multidisciplinary Conference. The session began with the artist sharing her creative journey and international experiences, along with works inspired by her visits to India, incorporating themes such as Krishna and Mathura. The workshop then engaged students in a reflective exercise where they articulated their personal understanding of art. This understanding was translated into diverse visual expressions using various materials and techniques, resulting in an interactive and enriching learning experience that emphasised experimentation, individuality, and creative exploration.
