SUMMARY:The Forgotten Souvenir
DESCRIPTION:Explore MAP's latest exhibition\, The Forgotten Souvenir\, thro
 ugh a guided walk and discover how  the art of mica paintings\, created d
 uring the East India Company’s heyday. These paintings\, both art and hi
 storical documents\, showcase professions\, societal roles\, and colonial 
 India's rigid caste and class systems and thus\, offer unique insights int
 o everyday life under colonial rule.  \n\nThese delicate works\, painted
  on thin sheets of muscovite mica from Murshidabad\, Patna\, and Trichinop
 oly\, reflect the adaptation of Indian artists as royal patronage declined
 . They served as easily portable\, attractive souvenirs for British travel
 lers\, bridging the gap between traditional miniature painting and the ris
 e of photography.  \n\nAccompanied by Amit Dutta’s short film Moments 
 before Mutiny and an interactive game\, this guided walk invites you to jo
 urney deeper into this nearly forgotten chapter of Indian art.\n\nThis gui
 ded walkthrough will also give you FREE access to the otherwise ticketed e
 xhibition.
