Paws & Listen: The Curator’s Perspective

How has the most meme’able, memorable, and mischievous animal known to man been represented across art history in the subcontinent? Through Kalighat paintings, miniatures, and popular imagery, our latest exhibition, The Many Lives of the Cat highlights how the cat has served as both muse and mirror — embodying humour, critique, and affection across time.

Join our curator Khushi Bansal for an intimate walkthrough of this exhibition and discover how this enigmatic animal has captivated artists, storytellers, and audiences for generations.
