The Pink City will play host to a meeting of Indian and Chinese artists when they will exchange views on art and architecture.

The programme called ‘Maitri’, which translates to friendship, creation of new bonds and cementing existing connect, begins on November 5.

Artists Gogi Saroj Pal, Bulbul Sharma, Kanchan Chander, Rekha Rao, Asma Menon, Nupur Kundu, Meenakshi Kasliwal, Sheetal Gattani and Madhuri Bhaduri are some of the artists from the Indian contingent. The Chinese team comprises Chen Yinyin, Tang Baolin, He Daqiao, Liu Yuanshan, Wang Yuhong, Wang Xin, Lu Yuwei and Yang Yan.

Workshops on block painting and Chinese water colour art are on the agenda. On November 9, an exhibition of the works created by the artists will be held in Jaipur.

The artists will later travel to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal to explore Mughal and Hindu styles of architecture, design and décor. The confluence will end in New Delhi with a heritage tour. The Indian Council for Cultural Relations has conceptualised ‘Maitri’.
