Ashiya Sethi

Arshiya SethiAfter the success of the Habitat experiment and empowered by new ideas from her stint with the Lincoln Center for Performing arts, New York, during her Fulbright fellowship, Arshiya Sethi took on two challenges simultaneously-

  1. Kri Foundation for which she is Managing Trustee.
  2. At the Poorva Sanskriti Kendra which she is mentoring, she has taken on the challenge of creating a value and receptivity for cultural life in an area not known for prioritizing the arts. Arshiya believes that soon Delhi’s “left bank” too will be wellspring of cultural and cerebral vibrancy.
Arshiya Sethi had been a core member of the team that established India Habitat Centre as the "happening" venue for the arts in Delhi. Apart from planning all art spaces within the nine-acre complex, she drew up policies, worked on networks, negotiated finances and established linkages between naturally allied and some innovative constituencies, around the arts.
