If the essay was published in more than one publication, versions of the form it finally assumed are available in the books/anthologies/catalogs listed below. Publication(s): • ‘Visual Culture in an Indian Metropolis’, in Towards a New Art History: Studies in Indian Art (Essays Presented in Honour of Prof. Ratan Parimoo), edited by Shivaji K. Panikkar, Parul Dave Mukherji and Deeptha Achar, D.K. Printworld, Delhi, 2003 Visual Culture in an Indian Metropolis Geeta Kapur and Ashish Rajadhyaksha Prefatory Notes 1. The authors wish to acknowledge the original publication context of this essay. See Geeta Kapur and Ashish Rajadhyaksha, ‘Bombay/ Mumbai 1992-2001’ in Iwona Blazwick (ed.), Century City: Art and Culture in the Modern Metropolis, Tate Publishing, London, 2001 This publication accompanied a major exhibition at the Tate Modern, London (February- April 2001) titled Century City: Art and Culture in the Modern Metropolis. The project set out to examine key moments of cultural creativity in nine cities across the world on the following premise: that at different times in different places through the twentieth century, the energy of the modern metropolis peaked to produce a cultural explosion, where the arts flourished in a dynamic and radical interchange. The reasons for these creative flashpoints are diverse, but each city, at its particular time, can be seen to have become a crucible drawing artists from the city and other regions into an artistic and intellectual ferment.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

  • Artsand Philanthropy
    Arts and Philanthropy Art is a universal language where visual expression evokes raw emotions and is thus an effective medium of conveying the very important message of peace “and harmony. Indeed, powerful images of paintings can leave an everlasting impact on peoples’ minds. Unlike words which are spoken, heard and sometimes forgotten, art on canvas stays forever and so does the message it conveys. — Satish Kumar Modi at the Inaugural Ceremony of the UNESCO Global Forum on the ‘Power of Peace’ ”at Bali, Indonesia. (cover image) — ‘Golden Life’, oil on canvas by Deepak Kumar, student of Final Year, Fine Art, IIFA Inspired by Lord Buddha’s life and teachings, the artist has tried to convey the fact that thoughts based on truthfulness, love and compassion — the ‘golden thoughts’— enable a person to lead a life full of peace, contentment and happiness — a ‘golden life’.
