Delhi this week: From arts and crafts to music, Delhi has a packed cultural calendar

Entitled ‘Our Line in The Sand’, a group exhibition at Art Centrix Space brings together 40 works including sculptures, installations and paintings by artists Tehmeena Firdos, Pinaki Ranjan Mohanty, Manish Sharma, Tapas Biswas, Nityanand Ojha and Siri Devi Khandavilli, among others. The theme is inspired by the Oxford archeology professor, ‘Malafouris’ Material Engagement Theory’ by Lambros Malafouris, which states that materiality – the world of material things, artifacts and signs – affects the way humans have cognitively evolved. The exhibition runs until May 31.
In memory
Dedicated to Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, the Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture (SPICMACAY) organizes a series of Carnatic and Hindustani classical music and dance performances. Scheduled for May 29 to June 4, the concerts will be streamed live on YouTube and will include performances by Begum Parveen Sultana, Pt Rajendra Gangwani and Pt Venkatesh Kumar, among others.
Celebrate multiple thoughts

The exhibition runs until June 18 at the Vadehra Art Gallery.

CRAFTOPIA, an art summer camp for children, will be held at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, from May 25 to June 4.
