Our Purpose
Art Fervour exists to celebrate the depth and breadth of South Asian creativity.
Our discovery platform amplifies exhibitions, decodes art-world jargon, and spotlights artists across the subcontinent and diaspora. As a consultancy, we’ve worked with institutions like Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) and RMZ Foundation, brands like MUBI and Soho House, and artists like Viraj Khanna.
Which is to say, we’re not your run-of-the-mill digital agency.
We’re a culture-first creative engine; working from inside the art world to
open it up to everyone.
Meet the Founder
Nivedita Poddar had always been keenly aware of the dissonance between the art world and its audiences, as well as the disconnect between South Asian artists and global contemporary art discourse. Through Art Fervour, she set out to bridge these gaps.
As the founder and creative director of Art Fervour, she weaves digital strategy, consultancy, and content creation together to craft resonant and impactful experiences for artists, institutions, and audiences.
Nivedita has honed her expertise working as a client advisor at Gurr Johns, while also taking on independent consultation projects for Westin Hotels & Resorts. She has been a Gallery Associate at Frieze London, and has independently curated the debut exhibition of French artist Malachi Farrell.
With a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata and a Master’s in Modern and Contemporary Art from Christie’s Education, London, she brings years of experience and insight to breaking down barriers to the art world.
