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 were create
 d during the East India Company’s heyday. These paintings\, both art and
  historical documents\, showcase professions\, societal roles\, and coloni
 al India's rigid caste and class systems and thus\, offer unique insights 
 into everyday life under colonial rule.  \n\nThese delicate works\, pain
 ted on thin sheets of muscovite mica from Murshidabad\, Patna\, and Trichi
 nopoly\, reflect the adaptation of Indian artists as royal patronage decli
 ned. They served as easily portable\, attractive souvenirs for British tra
 vellers\, bridging the gap between traditional miniature painting and the 
 rise of photography.  \n\nAccompanied by Amit Dutta’s short film Momen
 ts before Mutiny and an interactive game\, this guided walk invites you to
  journey deeper into this nearly forgotten chapter of Indian art.\n\nPhoto
