'Why is Art Weird?' is an art engagement workshop designed to introduce students to different art styles, mediums, and concepts in Indian modern art using interactive methods, games, and visual examples to challenge the idea that modern art is difficult, inaccessible or too strange and removed from our life experiences.

The workshop aids in developing a deeper appreciation and understanding of various kinds of modern art while also encouraging their own creative exploration. Current modules of Why is Art Weird explore abstraction as a concept and artistic form and have been designed for students from grades six to seven. Each module is of ninety minutes, and can take place in a classroom, transforming it into a gallery and atelier for the duration of the workshop.
