The text is one stage short of the final version agreed upon by the author and editor of the particular publication. 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.

  • 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’.

  • Celluloid Anthropology
    CELLULOID ANTHROPOLOGY Film, after all, is more than mere Uncle Ike and my father, Jacob celluloid. It is socially constructed within a three-cornered association between filmmakers, film spectators, and the film texts themselves, and at every point in that nexus of relationships we encounter negotiation and interaction involving active social beings and institutionalized social practices.--Andrew Tudor, “Sociology and Film” As a bit of tea-soaked madeleine summoned Marcel’s memories of holidays in Combray, the aroma of sandalwood soap, simply cooked lentils, and hot sweet milk with a cream skin call up the general sensation of one period I spent in India. Sparing my kind father from her hormonal vicissitudes, my pregnant and homesick mother left Chicago for the duration of her pregnancy and took me along to her maternal house. There she was properly pampered and I was entertained by a merry cast of characters from a world to which I belonged, all of us in giddy anticipation of my sister’s birth. Like those “sonorous, fragrant, limpid hours” Proust’s protagonist spent in the country, the time I spent as an only child suddenly plunged into a warm extended family continues to affect and color my life. I cling to the sense of security, contentment, and connection I sensed in what was, for six months, my world instead of the one I so lightly inhabit. So shocked I was by our return to America that when I saw my own sweet father I blinked at him frankly and said, “I’m shy of you.” The people of that faraway land were very different from the quiet wintry Chicago to which we returned, and if I was borne of that world then I was forever very different too.
