It was the French Revolution that led to the opening of the Louvre to the public turning accessible art into an adage that galleries have since aspired to. In the digital age, this has become an easier, albeit not simple, task. While mediums like Instagram have enabled online presence and reach, the medium of videos offer greater in-depth access.

The art gallery, Project 88, is embarking on an effort to transport their physical experiences to the virtual domain with curated videos of exhibits, talks and sessions held at the gallery through their YouTube channel. Titled Art Talks, the channel was an experiment that the gallery resorted to during the Covid-19-induced lockdown two years ago, but not pursued further till now. Gallery director Sree Goswami says, “Back then, the digital space was the only one available or viable for audience engagement. When business returned to normalcy, we looked back at some of the learning from the experience. One of them is that the digital realm is accessible in ways the physical space cannot be.”
