ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alka Raghuvanshi's writing career on the arts spanning nearly 35 years, she has documented an entire generation of artistes and artists who have shaped the artistic heritage of the country in the last quarter of the century - captured in two books written by Dr Raghuvanshi - A Moment in Time with legends of Indian arts and Pathfinders - artistes of ove trold. She has authored and edited over 26 books including, Garhwal Himalayas - Chorus of Solitude, Indian Jewels - for quru's nansoon. As series editor and initiator of the seven-part series Classical Dances of India with one book for each classical dance form written by top performers of the seven forms, She commissioned, edited and curated the visuals of the books. She commissioned and edited Smoking Beauties, a first-ever Indian publication on the heritage of steam engines in the country. A senior columnist and author, she has been on the editorial teams of the Indian Express, the Times of India and the BBC, where she consistently wrote to cover literature and the entire spectrum of the arts including dance music, theatre, painting and crafts. As editor of Simar, she redesigned and re-launched the magazine to take into account the changed arts scenario in terms of design and coverage. For the first time in the history of journalism - a feat that has not been repeated since she was able to run an arts page everyday for half a decade as the arts editor of the Pioneer. The page was a judicious mix of informed articles which treated the arts as part of hand news Spectrum and fearless reviews, covering the arts globally. She launched Pionicerarts.com, the first of its kind website on the performing and visual arts way back in 1999, She was India's first trained art curator, having trained at the Goldsmiths College, London and the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, She has curated and designed major exhibitions and written detailed catalogues and many of which travelled to other parts of the country and the world as well. All the exhibitions were marked by an amazing interplay of indigenous design and their contemporary connect.
