Anupam Sah
Over a lifetime we collect many keepsakes, which when passed down over generations become treasured artefacts that help us reconnect with stories from our past. Taking measures to care for these objects ensure that we get to hold on to them that much longer and revere the stories they narrate.
Empower yourself to take care of your heirlooms, photographs, paintings, antiques, jewellery, and textiles in this masterclass with art conservator-restorer Anupam Sah. Send us a picture of an artefact with your questions, or keep your objects beside you and ask your questions and he will answer them live, sharing tips and techniques for the care and preservation of your family heritage.
You can write to mehreen.yousaf@map-india.org with your pictures and questions or send us a message on our Instagram (@mapbangalore).
Bookings are closed for this event.
