Abstract
In 2014 I went to Santiniketan, Bengal, with a group of curators, artists and researchers to explore the aesthetic, pedagogical and political legacy of Rabindranath Tagore’s experimental nondenominational, multidisciplinary school set up outside the small town of Bolpur in 1901. The school had become a locus of research for us for various reasons—our own educations, curatorial and artistic tendencies towards the educational, our interests in the legacies and politics of Indian Modernism, our commitments to working through questions concerning the implications of non-aligned cosmopolitanism within the histories of India’s relation to its own decolonisation and ensuing complex sensorially-contingent relations with its former colonisers.
