Collecting & curating art in Goa with Samira Sheth | Episode 14

Author: Goa.me December 23, 2020 Duration: 35:28

In this episode, we sit down with Goa based Art Consultant, Curator & Collector Samira Sheth.

For as 2020 comes to a close, we can't help but reflect upon the many ways in which this year has indeed affected the arts. As we enter what would typically be a season packed with year end celebrations and an endless array of art festivals & events, we were curious to get Samira's take on how this pandemic has and will continue to shape the way in which we create & collect art moving forward.  With a wealth of experience not only here in Goa but across India and abroad, Samira shares her journey into art and in the end leaves us feeling far more optimistic about the future than we'd thought!

The sound of the sea is a constant rhythm here, but the real heartbeat of Goa comes from its people. This monthly podcast from the team behind Goa.me moves beyond the postcard imagery to find the stories woven into the fabric of everyday life. Each episode is a quiet exploration, a conversation held on a veranda or a walk through a market, listening to the fishermen, artists, shopkeepers, and families who call this place home. You’ll hear the subtle shifts in tradition, the personal histories behind a beloved recipe, and the quiet challenges that exist alongside the celebrated beauty. Hosted by the creators of Goa's largest online community, the Goa podcast draws from a deep well of connection and curiosity. It’s less about documenting a destination and more about understanding a living culture through the voices that sustain it. The result is an intimate, unfolding portrait-a collection of authentic encounters that together reveal the complex and captivating soul of a region often simplified. Tune in for these regular, thoughtful dispatches from the ground, where every conversation adds another layer to the story.
