A walkthrough of Raza's paintings at the Piramal Museum of Art
S.H. Raza Traversing Terrains which opened at the Piramal Museum of Art, Mumbai, will be on view till 16 December 2018. Through the paintings, photographs, diary extracts, and written correspondence between the artist and his contemporaries of the renowned Indian painter, the exhibition presents the story of Raza's life from the early 1940s to the late 1990s.
An extensive outreach programme has been put together that draws upon key themes in Raza&rsquos work and the narrative focus of the exhibition to make it accessible and engaging. A host of events including talks, film screenings, workshops and walkthroughs designed to increase the accessibility of Raza&rsquos work for a wide range of audiences are also scheduled.
Programmes like Cycle 16 which will allow visitors to engage with the artists in residence and their on-going projects and a children's workshop called Raza's Bindu, which introduces children to the world of art using the most recognizable symbol from Raza's work, the bindu, are to be held.
A second edition of Art Night Friday, part of the newly established Mumbai Midtown Arts Collective, will take place in late-September. Piramal Museum of Art will hold guided tours in English and Marathi till 10 pm. Towards the end of the month, Connect the Dots 2 is scheduled to be hosted. In this adventurous programme, participants will trace the footsteps of Raza by visiting locations around Mumbai that he frequented.
The registration for a few events is free or starts at INR 650. While most programmes will be held at Piramal Museum of Art in Lower Parel itself, 'Connect the Dots' will begin at Jehangir Art Gallery.
