Kerala Radicals

° 1987

The Kerala Radicals [which at different times included artists Anita Dube, C.K. Rajan, K.R. Karunakaran, Alex Mathew, Reghunadhan K., Jyothi Basu, K.P. Krishnakumar] took shape as a coherent group in Baroda at the Fine Arts Department of the M.S. University during the second half of 1980 where they protested against the conservatism of the art world, evoking a left tradition. They participated as a group in artist camps and exhibitions including Questions and Dialogues in Baroda in 1987 and at the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva later that year. They produced a manifesto which was written by Anita Dube.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
