Ends and Means: A Conversation with Geeta Kapur

Abstract

This interview with New Delhi–based critic and curator Geeta Kapur was conducted by Saloni Mathur, a professor of art history at UCLA. In their dialogue, Kapur reflects on her five-decade long career and speaks on a wide range of topics, including the rise of authoritarianism in India and around the world, the status of “third-world” and postcolonial criticism, the internationalism of Okwui Enwezor, and the challenges to the Euro-American canon presented by critical engagements with modern and contemporary art.
