Kochi's Muziris Biennale - Modern Art Exhibition

What is the Kochi Muziris Biennale?

Art is in the airThis year's modern art exhibition was going on while I was there so I took an afternoon to tour one of the sites (and old shipping warehouse, converted into funky warehouse art gallery space). Below are some of the interesting pieces! 

Not an art piece, a sign with the name of the festival painted on a wall in the city and pointing to one of the venues.
