300 artists come together to save Venkatappa Gallery - Times of India

300 artists join together to protest plans to privatise the Venkatappa Art Gallery in Bengaluru. “We have gathered in a symbolic human chain to express our solidarity against the government's decision to privatize our only art gallery. This is the only democratic space in the entire state. We want to fight for its freedom as well as that of the community's,” said Alaka Rao, an artist and one of the organizers of the protest.
