Established in 2001, TASI conducted several events during the initial years. Unfortunately we have very few photographs of these and the records of exact dates are also fuzzy. During this period several studios and individual artists were invited to use the TASI platform to share knowledge about their work, studios, organisations and projects. The G-12 Auditorium at The Ramnarian Ruia College, Mumbai was our regular host. The Principal’s office provided invaluable support through a highly subsidised venue for our get-togethers.
TASI also presented films and conducted several interactive sessions at the Kala Ghoda Festival in Mumbai, National Film Development Corporation, Max Mueller Bhavan and Cafe Mocha among many other locations in Mumbai.
