Workshop with Alisha Sadikot

Inspired by our ongoing exhibition 'People of Bengal: Coloured Etchings by F. Baltazard Solvyns', presented in collaboration with DAG.

Solvyns was among the first European artists to systematically classify the various communities and occupations of 18th-century Bengal as he observed them. He presented an interesting yet complex Western perspective on Indian manners, customs, and festivals.

Join us for an interpretive tour of the exhibition, where we closely examine Solvyns seemingly intimate portrayal of the people. Participants are then invited to play with and choose from a range of props - or bring and use their own - to craft and share self-portraits, taking control of their narratives to represent themselves as they wish to be seen. 

Alisha Sadikot is an independent museum and heritage educator who uses walks as a tool to instigate critical and creative public engagement with art, museum collections and heritage spaces in Mumbai. She runs the Inheritage Project and is co-founder Art & Wonderment.
