2027 Art Calendar
Anti-Caste
Art Calendar
2027
Six artists. Six works. A year of resistance, memory and imagination.
17 x 27 inches
Limited 2027 edition
More than a calendar.
Created as part of AKSC's 2026 Annual Conference, the 2027 calendar brings together the work of six anti-caste artists in a large-format edition celebrating art, resistance, memory and movements for equality.
Each two-month spread pairs an original artwork with important dates from the history of the anti-caste movement in India and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
It is an effort to create space for anti-caste artists and bring movement history into our everyday lives.
