Bhuri Bai: The Arc of Living
“Bhuri Bai seems to regularly stage a resistance to the epistemic violence historically inflicted by the literate upon the illiterate.”

“An ongoing online exhibition by The Museum of Art and Photography presents an insight into her journey. It is unique in being led by Bhuri Bai’s voice rather than that of the curators.”
“While it was a matter of pride and satisfaction to be lending significant works from India, Poddar felt the need of museums within the country. And this planted the seed for establishing MAP.”
“It didn’t take Punjabi long to establish himself as the chronicler of that Great Indian Dream, although his role was acknowledged, and is being celebrated, only in the last decade or so.”
“A year that was not going so well, turned out to be an opportunity that Poddar couldn’t let slip. His plans for a museum in Bengaluru finally saw light when he launched MAP (Museum of Art & Photography) mid-December 2020, albeit digitally.”
“The museum situated on Kasturba Road, will be physically launched in 2021, but owing largely to the pandemic and its ensuing consequences, it was decided to pre launch the MAP virtually.”
