Open studio & conversation with artists-in-residence Annabel Schenck & Sourav Chatterjee

Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts invites you to an open studio and conversation with artists-in-residence Annabel Schenck and Sourav Chatterjee.

Schenck (France) and Chatterjee (India) participated in a 45-day Artist-in-Residency-Lab (AIR-L) programme at Sunaparanta, exploring the impact of coastal development on the environment and local communities by drawing parallels between Panjim’s coast and the Mediterranean.

Annabel Schenck, a printmaker, collaborated with local artists to expand the possibilities of traditional engraving. She developed new tools, experimented with different materials, and explored spatial print arrangements. As part of a week-long exchange at The Directorate of Art and Culture, Panjim, she engaged with Goan printmakers, exchanging techniques and processes.

Sourav Chatterjee immersed himself in Panjim’s daily life, translating societal attitudes and emotions into paintings that address pollution, over-exploitation, and climate change. Having spent seven years in Europe, he brings a perspective that blends familiarity and distance. His work reinterprets Indian miniature painting with contemporary global influences.
