Aparanta, was a large exhibition of Goan artists curated by poet and art theorist Ranjit Hoskote in Panjim (April 11-24, 2007) With 23 Goan artists and 250-odd works in a range of mediums from water colours to video installations, Aparanta was set at the grand 400-year-old GMC building. The exhibition also included works by two non-Goan artists, Baiju Parthan and photographer Dayanita Singh who lives in Goa.
