From 22nd to 26th January, 2026, the finest minds of the literary and artistic world will converge at the Alipore Museum (Alipore Jail) to engage with readers and connoisseurs of Kolkata. There will be conversations, book launches, interactions and performances. And of course, the chance to listen to your favourite authors in person. Within the premises of the historical Alipore Museum, synonymous with the freedom movement of India, we welcome you all to celebrate the power of words and independent thought. There is only one place to be during the long Republic Day weekend in our city - The Exide Kolkata Literary Meet! We cannot wait to share more details soon! . . . . #exidekolkataliterarymeet #readiscover #litmeetsofindia #venueannouncement #kolkataevents #literature #art #culture #music

Two visions. One Biennale. We introduce the new curators for the Bengal Biennale 2026 - 2027, the Chander Haat Collective and Ritika Biswas.

1. Chander Haat is an artist collective and community space situated in Sarsuna, on the fringe of Kolkata. Its uniqueness emerges from deep socio-political and ecological engagement with local communities as well as a long-standing involvement with designing Durga Puja. Each of its members also has their own independent artistic practice. Chander Haat was awarded the Vivan Sundaram Grant for Installation Art in 2024.

2. Ritika Biswas is an independent curator and artistic researcher from Kolkata who lives and works nomadically. Her praxis focuses on ecological justice, necropolitics, and experimental media. She was a curator at New Art Exchange in the UK from 2019-2021 and Artistic Director for the Busan Biennale’s 2021 Sea Art Festival as its youngest and first female, foreign director since 1987. Recent projects include exhibitions curated at Project 88 Mumbai, the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Fondation Fiminco Paris, and 421 Abu Dhabi.

Gameplan Foundation trustees Jeet and Malavika Banerjee are excited by the rooted ethos and nomadic eclecticism the co-curators will bring. It’s hoped that together they will bring fresh perspectives from community-rooted practice and global curatorial visions, shaping a Biennale that celebrates Bengal’s creative spirit and its dialogue with the world.
