Untangling Modernity
Saurabh Dube
Mukta Salve Triptych, Rahee Punyashloka, Collaboration (booklet): Mavelinadu Collective 2022. Digital print on paper.
Join us for a walkthrough of our permanent exhibition VISIBLE/INVISIBLE with anthropologist, historian, and art enthusiast Saurabh Dube. With this walkthrough, Saurabh seeks to explore the exhibition through the optics of culture, society, and their transformations, while sharing his perspectives on modernism and modernity – in India and at large.
VISIBLE/INVISIBLE explores the representation of women through artworks in our collection. It attempts to re-address preconceived notions of femininity and gender as a social construct through art history by providing a more inclusive understanding towards it.
