Mr. Kallat, who lives and works in Mumbai, is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Kochi Biennale Foundation. He previously served as curator of the second edition of the Kochi–Muziris Biennale (2014-15), titled Whorled Explorations.
He takes on this responsibility following the decision of Bose Krishnamachari, co-founder of the Biennale, to step down earlier this year, according to a communication.
