  • Chandresh Kumari Katoch by : INVC Team Published on : 14 Nov, 2012 07:51 PM IST
    The exhibition is a milepost in itself portraying the memories of the Indian independence movement : Chandresh Kumari Katoch By : INVC Team Published On : 14 Nov, 2012 07:51 PM IST INVC,, Delhi,, The Union Minister of Culture Smt. Chandresh Kumari Katoch here today inaugurated an exhibition entitled ‘Visual Archives of Kulwant Roy’. The exhibition has been organised by the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), Ministry of Culture and curated by Aditya Arya, who has played a pivotal role in the formation of the India Photo Archive Foundation of which he is a Trustee. The Secretary Culture Smt. Sangita Gairola was the Guest of Honour on the occasion. Speaking at the inaugural function, Smt. Chandresh Kumari Katoch has said that the exhibition is a milepost in itself portraying the memories of the Indian independence movement, the decisive political events, protests, marches and eminent leaders of the mainstream nationalist politics. The exhibition also pays its due homage to the foremost and unsung photojournalists who assiduously captured these public moments but whose works have been lost over the time. The exhibition showcases an earnest selection of the diverse photographs taken by Kulwant Roy, one of the first free-lance photo-journalists who worked through the pre and post-independence era of Modern India, an era that witnessed many nationalist upsurges that shaped the political, constitutional, and economic future of the country. In this exhibition, the NGMA is displaying some of the rarest negatives and prints of MAHATMA GANDHI recently discovered and restored. This collection represents the work Kulwant Roy (1914-1984). Starting from 1930s to the 960s, his work follows mainstream national history.
