Film Screenings
Louis Kahn’s Tiger City
Join us for the screening of Louis Kahn’s Tiger City in conjunction with the exhibition Eckart Muthesius and Manik Bagh: Pioneering Modernism in India curated by Raffael Dedo Gadebusch, travelling from the Museum of Asian Art, Berlin. In this film, art historian and filmmaker Sundaram Tagore retraces the footsteps of architect Louis Kahn, uncovering how he built the iconic and monumental parliamentary complex in war-torn Bangladesh.
Built for the Maharaja of Indore, Yashwant Rao Holkar II, Manik Bagh (or the ‘Gem Garden’) was a residential palace designed by his friend and architect Eckart Muthesius. The exhibition marks a first in a series of shows planned on architecture, focusing on plural interpretations on the idea of “home” through 3 exhibitions planned through 2025-2026.
The screening will feature an introduction by the director, Sundaram Tagore, and conclude with a Q&A session with the audience.
