Appointment of three men to senior positions at Lalithakala Akademi flayed
A group of women artists on Friday staged a unique protest in the courtyard of the Durbar Hall Art Gallery here to decry the State government appointing three men as top office-bearers of the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi.
“The government preaches gender equality but practices absolute male bias as is evident from the appointment,” said noted artist P.S. Jalaja, one of the members of A Collective of Women in Visual Arts of Kerala, which took out the protest.
A memorandum signed by 116 women visual artists had been submitted to the government in June last year demanding, among other things, equal share for women in key positions of the Lalithakala Akademi.
