“Pakistani-born, Vancouver-based artist Zoya Siddiqui’s new online show at MAP, Bengaluru, grapples with questions of belonging and religious identity.”
“The careful mapping of Bai’s life and art is a result of hours and hours of audio interviews conducted with her over the course of a few days in October last year.”
“The new Museum of Art & Photography in Bengaluru, India, is already breaking new ground, and it hasn’t even opened its physical doors.”
“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.”
