About
HH Art Spaces, an artist-run movement working with live and performance, visual, sonic and installation artists locally, regionally and internationally, over the last 10 years.
HH has built a long standing position of credibility in the contemporary and experimental art scene in South Asia and abroad. Our events draw audiences from cultural hubs across India and international networks, as well as creative audiences from musicians, artists, restaurateurs, writers and critics that make up our homegrown community in Goa. As a collective of artists, we move with ease between the art institution and market, and are at home activating the fringe and independent art spaces. This makes HH’s audience both distinct and diverse.
Furthermore, we are deeply invested in the documentation and recording of live artwork and its residual effects, to create and nurture a rich archive and develop an active resource pool in the region.
Some of HH’s collaborators over the years, include: The Tetley Museum, Leeds; Tate Modern, London, Fondazione Elpis, Milan; Britto Arts Trust, Dhaka, Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Dhaka Art Summit; Chatterjee & Lal, KHOJ International Artists’ Association, Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation, India Art Fair, Theertha International Artists’ Collective, Sri Lanka, Serendipity Arts Trust, Magnetic Fields Festival, Sunaparanta Centre for the Arts, and Japan Foundation, Alliance Française, Canada Council for the Arts, British Council, Pro Helvetia and the Ontario Arts Council.
With increasing support from institutional as well as funding through grants and commissions, in-house curated exhibitions, and workshops, HH has sustained through the years and now wears several hats as art-makers, art liaisons, producers, curators and mentors, working with artists and voices from South Asia and beyond. HH’s extended community continues to grow over time, space and the ever expanding domain of live art.

Over time, HH has also been driven by - Shivani Gupta and Shaira Sequeira Shetty as Partners, Mario D’Souza as Curator in Residence and Madhurjya Dey, Divyesh Undaviya, Shruthi Pawels and Alex Xela as integral parts of this unique organisation in South Asia.
