Event Details : 'The City in the Archive: Calcutta’s Visual Histories' An exhibition from the archival collections of the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta (CSSSC)
Curated by Tapati Guha-Thakurta (with the CSSSC’s exhibition and archive team) and designed by Hiran Mitra.
Emerging from a 15-year project of archiving and documentation at CSSSC, this exhibition conceives of Calcutta of the 19th and 20th centuries through the prism of illustrated books and journals, popular paintings and prints, hoardings, cover designs and commercial art; modern art, theatre, photography and cinema. Sections on print productions and graphic design, on consumption and entertainment; on portraits and personalities; and on urban sites and spaces help to visualize the modern city’s cultural productions and practices and changing forms of middle-class sociability. Calcutta features equally as the site from which issued this range of cultural products and the many private and institutional collections these inspired
