A multi-media tribute to COVID-warriors at Bengaluru's Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath

Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath has been bustling with activity for a few days now. Apart from the regular santhes, which are conducted on the premises, students pursuing fine arts, were seen putting up a multi-media art installation on campus. Turns out, this time around, it is a tribute to COVID-warriors.
Talking about the installation, Professor Thejendra Baoni, principal, says that it depicts the current times."Art has the power to convey messages and that is what we are trying to do. This multi-media installation will be in the shape of the Coronavirus," says Thejendra, adding, "The concept behind the installation is to depict what everyone across the world went through in 2020. There was fear, negativity and the whole world stopped. Each rod in the installation depicts humans who want to come out of the situation. Through art we also want to pay our tributes to all frontline workers and COVID-warriors who have worked endlessly during the pandemic. Every year we dedicate one piece of art during Chitra Santhe, this year we have this art installation dedicated to COVID warriors."
