New Delhi, Mar 31 (PTI) The New Delhi Municipal Council on Tuesday said it will institutionalise its women-focused art workshop ‘Shakti’ as an annual cultural programme, while also announcing plans to set up a sculpture park at Nehru Park.
The announcement came as the five-day workshop, organised in collaboration with Triveni Kala Sangam, concluded with an exhibition showcasing works by 20 women artists from across India.
Held from March 27 to 31, the workshop centred on the theme of Shakti, exploring feminine power, identity and resilience through contemporary artistic practices.
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) Vice-Chairperson Kuljeet Singh Chahal inaugurated the exhibition and felicitated participants, calling art a “powerful medium” for social expression and transformation.
He said the initiative would now be a recurring platform to amplify women’s voices in art while encouraging dialogue on empowerment and inclusion.
Additionally, Chahal said NDMC is moving forward with its plan to develop a sculpture park in Nehru Park.
The workshop brought together established artists such as Seema Kohli, Kanchan Chander and Vasundhara Tewari Broota, among others, whose works reflected a blend of traditional symbolism and modern perspectives on women’s roles in society. PTI MSJ PRK
