The pandemic certainly got us thinking. It made us reassess our approach to life. For Apurva Kulkarni, an independent academic, artist and art curator, it got him to re-examine the three decades he’s spent teaching. Kulkarni, who currently teaches visual arts at the Goa College of Architecture, started an online art residency in August last year, through an art education initiative called Altamirra - a title borrowed from what his house in Goa is called, named after the cave in Spain that is home to prehistoric paintings and engravings.
