Across five intensive days, ideas moved between art, technology, empathy, movement, robotics, and innovation โ challenging conventional ways of thinking and opening new possibilities for collaboration.

Bhavna Kakar โ gallerist, collector, and founder of Latitude 28 โ joins us for a conversation that moves through the shifting landscapes of the art world.
In this episode, she reflects on what it truly means to collect โ beyond trends, beyond names โ as an act of instinct, engagement, and time. We talk about navigating the art market, learning from its highs and lows, and why living with art is far more important than simply acquiring it.
As she puts it:
โ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต.โ
A thoughtful and honest conversation โ on collecting with intention, trusting your eye, and finding meaning in the works we choose to live with.

Talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Every year, FCEAโs Inception Grant receives a thousand applications from emerging artists across South Asia. Many of the strongest among them come from small towns and rural India.
They are the ones making work about the India most of us never see. Climate, caste, migration, the texture of a country reinventing itself faster than its institutions can keep up with.
Without support, most leave the practice within five years.
We can currently fund four of them. Four out of a thousand.
Patronage for the 2026 cycle is now open. Be part of the journey of an artist for one year. Back their first major body of work. One of the names we support today may be a master ten years from now.
To begin that conversation, write to us.

The Inception Grant is now the Foundation for Contemporary & Emerging Art (FCEA). Same heart, bigger mission.
What started as the Inception Grant has blossomed into something much larger. From its roots as the Inception Grant, we are thrilled to evolve into FCEA, which is now the home for:
โข Grants: Supporting emerging artists.
โข Residencies: Bridging art, tech, and heritage.
โข Fellowships: Empowering new curatorial voices.
Whether itโs through our residencies at Plaksha University or our grants, our mission remains the same: supporting the artists and curators of tomorrow.
Join us on this expanded journey.
