Hi Pradeep,
I don't know anyone in the GLAM sector in India so I can't really give you any
insights. However, I do have a few suggestions where you could ask to find someone who
knows more:
Perhaps the GLAMs in India that you have been in contact with before could be of
assistance?
It might be an idea to post a question on WikiProject Visual Arts. There are a lot of
great people hanging around there. :)Someone on the Cultural partners mailing list might
know what Indian organizations to contact.
Also, perhaps we should move the discussion about Wikimedia India's participation to
Wiki Loves Public Art's mailing list instead: wikilovespublicart(a)lists.wikimedia.org?
There might be some knowledgeable people there that might be able to help.
Cheers,
John

Hi John,
I apologise if this is seen as going off-topic for this list.
One of the principal problem that we are trying to address vis-a-vis public art in India
is the lack of a central repository of lists of such a work.
For WLM, we had such a list provided by the Archaeological Survey of India, which defined
monuments in India. I have, thus far not seen any similar definition or institution for
public art in India.
However, we are trying to solve this issue by talking to art institutions in general and
certain organisations that do public art performance in India like The Wall Project, Khoj
International.
At this level, I guess it would help if we can get contacts or introductions to people
whom we can speak to in India, in this regard.
Thanks,
Pradeep Mohandas,

Hi Niraj,
Thank you kindly for your offer!
This initiative is not only for European Chapters and Wikimedia India is more than welcome
to participate if you would like to organize the contest in India! It would be great if
you would!
As Wikimedia Sweden's involvement is financed by Europeana any direct financial
support (from our project budget) can only be given to European Chapters (e.g. for my work
time or for costs of hosting websites etc.). However, I would be happy to assist Wikimedia
India with my volunteer hat on if there is something that you are wondering about! :)
Cheers,
John

Hey,
Would you like to be part of the international jury for WLPA? We are looking for 4-5 jury

photographers, Wikipedians, artists).
More information about the jury's work is available here:
http://wikilovespublicart.org/jury/
If you are interested please contact John or me. Tell us a bit about yourself and why you
are interested.
Best regards,
Arild Vågen,
coordinator for the international jury
