SUMMARY:The Forgotten Souvenir
DESCRIPTION:Explore MAP's exhibition\, The Forgotten Souvenir\, through a g
 uided walk. Learn about how  the art of mica paintings were created durin
 g the East India Company’s heyday. These paintings\, both art and histor
 ical documents\, showcase professions\, societal roles\, and colonial Indi
 a's rigid caste and class systems and thus\, offer unique insights into ev
 eryday life under colonial rule.  \n\nThese delicate works\, painted on 
 thin sheets of muscovite mica from Murshidabad\, Patna\, and Trichinopoly\
 , reflect the adaptation of Indian artists as royal patronage declined. Th
 ey served as easily portable\, attractive souvenirs for British travellers
 \, bridging the gap between traditional miniature painting and the rise of
  photography.  \n\nAccompanied by Amit Dutta’s short film Moments befo
 re Mutiny and an interactive game\, this guided walk invites you to journe
 y deeper into this nearly forgotten chapter of Indian art.\n\nPhoto Credit
