Abstractions: The Fine Art Society
Abstractions
Abstractions, the fine arts society of Hindu College was established in 1998. With a history of over 25 years, it is one of the most active societies in the college. As the fine arts society, Abstractions houses students from various métiers such as painting, sculpting, sketching, photography, graffiti, etc. We stand as a vibrant community that embraces the world of visual arts. With a focus on nurturing talent and fostering a thriving artistic community, Abstractions is at the forefront of igniting creativity within the college campus. Abstractions encourages multi-media projects that bring together students from different artistic backgrounds. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the society promotes a spirit of innovation and experimentation, resulting in unique and thought-provoking artistic endeavors. Abstractions provide creative freedom to its members for them to thoroughly express their ideas in the form of art.
Our Vision
At Abstractions, our vision is to inspire creativity and cultivate artistic excellence among our members. We aim not to just cater to our small community, but to reach a wider audience as well. We plan collaborations at international level through the various ministries and embassy of India. This would be a major step in integrating Indian and global forms of art, proving to be a fitting theme for the upcoming G20 Summit. Our aim is to fuse national and global arts, which is also reflected in our theme of this year.
We strive to create a dynamic and inclusive space where students from diverse artistic backgrounds can explore and experiment. This was also the main vision behind our event ‘Art Town’ where artistic creativity was given wings. In this event, people from all backgrounds were welcomed to showcase their artistic skills with no bounds.
We are committed to expand our workings outside the college community and enter the world of entrepreneurship, empowering artists and nurturing their artistic growth. For this, we have started ventures like Khwaab, which is committed towards event decoration, and Enzo by Abso which is a lifestyle and gifting brand.
We hope to upscale the reach of our society and open our curtains at the university level, with increasingly inter-college collaborations and a strong presence in the entire DU circuit. We aim to provide a supportive platform where artists can develop their skills and gain valuable experience. By organizing events and exhibitions, we hope to create opportunities for individuals to experience and engage with a wide range of artistic expressions, fostering a lifelong appreciation for the transformative power of arts.
