Bloch on its way to India

After years of standstill due to the pandemic and political unrest, and after several failed export attempts, Bloch finally left Antofagasta, Chile, on 18 July. After a short stop in San Vicente and a stopover in Hong Kong, the journey continues to India, where it is expected to arrive in Nhava Sheva at the end of September.

In India, a tour of almost two years is planned. It will begin with an exhibition and residency at the Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts, followed by appearances at the Serendipity Festival Goa. After that, a tour to Kochi, Bihar, and Delhi is planned, with collaborations involving numerous Indian artists. To prepare this programme, a preparatory trip already took place in 2023, including visits to Mumbai, Goa, Kochi, and Delhi, and meetings with many institutions, curators, and artists.
