Excerpts Q. India and Poland share a rich cultural tapestry. Tell us about some of the recent cultural initiatives.
A. As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Poland and India, both the Embassy of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Institute in New Delhi have launched projects that highlight our dynamic relationship. For Polish Institute, established in 2012, a key initiative is the Trans-Cultural Dialogue programme, featuring workshops and artist residencies that bring together Polish and Indian artists to explore each other's cultures. It's our pleasure to invite talented Indians to Poland this year and other way round: bring Polish artists to India. We are currently renewing our cooperation with art incubators like Khoj Studios in Delhi, Kiran Nadar Museum in Delhi, Experimenter in Kolkata and Mumbai, St-art India Foundation for the Mumbai Biennale and we are dedicated to participate in their programmes.
