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,
Chair, GLAM Special Interest Group,

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,
Great Initiative and all the best wishes for the same.
Thanks to Noopur for sharing. 
Sadly its only for Chapters in European Union!
But would be glad to help in any way possible.

FYI. For those interested and for those who contributed to WLM, this might be for you.

Hey,

Would you like to be part of the international jury for WLPA? We are looking for 4-5 jury members. We welcome people with different backgrounds and experiences (for example, 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,
