The IAF, a vibrant event attracting varied audiences, acts both as a marketplace and an educational venue in India, showcasing South Asian creativity. This year, three artists-in-residence, including Phukan, have an opportunity to create large-scale public works, supported by collaborations with organizations focused on well-being and community engagement.
