Government College of Fine Art Thrissur

On our first visit to the Kochi Muziris Biennale  2013 we saw a poster for a printmaking exhibition at the Government College of Fine Art in Thrissur. 

Charlie made contact with the college via an art student he had met and two years later, exactly ten years ago he was invited to give a talk to students. 
We have become close friends with Kavitha Balakrishnan who runs an innovative  degree  course in art history and have visited the college every time we’ve been back in Kerala. 



As always the students are so enthusiastic and interesting to talk to!  
On the first day Charlie worked with the students on a project involving matchboxes and Surrealism and the day after he talked to the students about the online Shed Gallery that he curates. 
The students will exhibit their project in the Shed Gallery in April.
