What stories do laws tell—and what stories do they silence? In this walkthrough of MAP’s permanent exhibition, VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection, we follow six striking artworks and artefacts that offer unexpected entry points into the world of law, justice, and feminist resistance.

From colonial rule to contemporary protest, these pieces help us ask: Who gets to speak? Who gets seen? And what might it mean to read the law—not as a set of fixed rules, but as an ongoing struggle over power, voice, and visibility?

Inspired by the idea that law is not just about order, but about shaping what counts as common sense, this guided walk led by lawyer Shrimoyee Nandini Ghosh, invites you to see legal history differently—with curiosity, care, and imagination.
