Pooja Chamudiya’s Design Journey & the Art of Ceramics
Sep 25, 2026 · original
Based in Mumbai, Pooja Chamudiya works with clay and continues to experiment with its many artistic forms. Her evolving relationship with clay has been shaped by periods spent in Goa, Pondichery, Alibaug, and, more recently, Tamba and Tokoname in Japan. Each place has offered new ways of observing the landscape and its material culture, informing the forms and ideas that emerge in her work. In November 2025, she exhibited her raku-fired ceramics and ceramic chain links at ‘The Ceramic Salon – Edition I’ at the House of Mahendra Doshi, Mumbai. In September 2025, her floral works, including a selection of banana blossoms, were featured in Nilaya’s ‘Orchard of Opulence’ as part of the exhibition ‘A Gathering of Light.’ In addition to these public exhibitions, she has also presented her work in private settings for more intimate audiences. In this conversation, which is s part of Abir Pothi’
Carlo Scarpa: The Modernist Designer of Venice Who Influenced by Art
Sep 22, 2026 · original
On June 2, 1906, Italian architect and designer Carlo Scarpa was born in Venice. Before his family moved back to Venice after his mother passed away in 1919, he was exposed to a new visual environment during his early years in Vicenza. At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where he concentrated on architectural studies and received a certificate in Architectural Design in 1926, Scarpa started his official architectural education. However, because he refused to sit for the professional exam after World War II, he had difficulties in his career. He was forced to collaborate with licensed architects until the very end. Significance of Scarpa’s Work Scarpa’s tenure as creative director of Venini Glassworks from 1932 to 1947 profoundly impacted his architectural career. He became involved in glassmaking, collaborating closely with craftspeople and incorporating age-old methods into con
From Vanishing Villages to Rising Seas: Art and Climate Change
Sep 21, 2026 · original
‘Art is a mirror of nature’ is one of the oldest philosophical sayings. Aristotle proposed this, which has never actually been contested. Humans cannot be separated from nature. Religion says that people come from soil and become part of it. Leave religion, even though it has some point. Nature remains the main theme and source of inspiration for art, despite the numerous issues humans face. Long ago, romanticism bid adieu, yet we are still romantic. Still, we go to the beach for the sunset and to the mountain for sunrise. Each of us may respond to the question, “What is nature?” by saying that ‘it is us’. ‘I’ is often a synonym of nature. If we deprive ourselves of nature, what will remain? Is nature returning to exact retribution on us because we have cut it off from ourselves? ‘He grew like an oak tree,’ writes Gustave Flaubert. That’s right, we grow like oak trees and tied like banan

Sep 19, 2026 · original
For the first time since 1984, the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, is exhibiting all 88 paintings by Vincent van Gogh from its collection in a single, comprehensive show. Titled Van Gogh , All Our Paintings , the exhibition opened on 15 September 2026 and runs until 3 January 2027 , offering an unprecedented opportunity to trace the artist’s development through the museum’s world-class holdings. A Historic Collection, Rarely Seen Together The Kröller-Müller Museum holds one of the largest private collections of Van Gogh paintings in the world, assembled by its founder Helene Kröller-Müller between 1908 and 1930. Although the museum owns these 88 works, they are rarely displayed simultaneously due to conservation and space considerations; the last time the entire group was shown together was in 1984. Museum officials describe the current presentation as “one of the largest
India Art, Architecture & Design Biennale 2026 Set to Open in December
Sep 18, 2026 · original
Delhi is about to host one of the most ambitious cultural festivals in recent Indian memory. From 4 December 2026 to 21 March 2027, the India Art, Architecture & Design Biennale (IAADB) 2026 will unfold across monuments, museums, galleries, embassies, studios and streets, with Purana Qila as its principal venue. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, the second edition of the Biennale will be a prolonged, citywide meditation on attention, presence and connection. “Tat Tvam Asi”: An Ancient Answer to a Modern Condition The Biennale’s curatorial theme, Tat Tvam Asi (“You Are That”), borrows from the Upanishads to address a distinctly contemporary anxiety: we live in the most connected moment in human history, and often the least attentive. Speed, abundance and the endless demands of digital life, the curatorial statement argues, have thinned three essential relationship
In 20th‑century India, the perfect Hindu wife was… a man
Sep 16, 2026 · original
Authored by Radhika Raghav , University of Otago ; Swinburne University of Technology This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. Read the original article . For much of the 20th century, the most admired wife in Marathi-speaking India was not a woman at all. Bal Gandharva (1888–1967), a celebrated impersonator of Marathi sangeet natak (musical theatre), played devoted heroines with such conviction that film actresses well into the 1970s were trained to reproduce his mannerisms. How did a man come to define middle-class femininity with such authority? My recently published research traces Gandharva’s enactment of womanhood from the stage to the marketplace. It reveals how his star persona became a site where respectable Hindu femininity was produced and commodified – a project that the theatre industry, emerging consumer culture and Hindu nationali
Finland’s Oodi: A Library Designed for Community
Sep 15, 2026 · original
Helsinki Central Library Oodi, situated in front of the Finnish Parliament is a public “living room” whose architecture is choreographed around democracy, everyday life and the changing idea of what a library should be. ALA Architects have designed it in service of access, openness and shared civic life. Site, symbol and first impression Oodi occupies one of the last prime plots in central Helsinki, directly facing the steps of the Parliament House across Kansalaistori Square. This deliberate placement frames the building as a counterpoint to the seat of power: an everyday civic institution embodying the Finnish Library Act’s ambitions of lifelong learning, democracy and freedom of expression. Image credit: Kuvatoimisto Kuvio Oy The architecture leans into this symbolism through its long, low horizontal volume that seems to bow towards the public, a gesture that feels more like an outs
Sensual Splendor: Exploring the Allure and Aesthetics of Mughal Erotic Art
Sep 14, 2026 · original
We know the presence of ancient Indian Sanskrit text, the Kama Sutra and other classics on sex and eroticism in Indian art and thought. There are a lot of instances of that in Indian art and culture. Hindu-Buddhist art and culture display the legacy of Kama Sutra and Tantricism in the Indian civilisation. The Mughals, too, were inspired by this text for a long time and created erotic art that blended classical Indian texts and Persian miniature style with the appearance of Islamic rulers. Through the grand strokes of Mughal Erotic Art, a dimension of sensuality, classiness, and delight of love emerges from the magnificent fabric of Mughal creativity. Mughal erotic miniature paintings are not new; that grandeur is disclosed already in the academic world and much discussed. During the Mughal Empire, which ruled over the Indian subcontinent from the early 16th to the mid-19th century, this

Ganesha’s Iconography: A Multifaceted Journey from Mythology to Modernity (Part 2)
Sep 14, 2026 · original
Symbolism in Ganesha’s Accessories The Broken Tusk (Ekadanta) One of the most prominent symbols associated with Ganesha is his broken tusk. According to mythology, Ganesha sacrificed his own tusk to use as a writing tool during the transcription of the epic Mahabharata. This act of self-sacrifice carries deep symbolic significance. It teaches us the value of relinquishing our own ego and attachments in pursuit of higher knowledge and wisdom. The broken tusk also serves as a reminder that imperfections can be transformed into sources of strength and creativity. Ganesha’s broken tusk represents the idea that what may seem imperfect on the surface can, in fact, hold immense beauty and wisdom within. Ganesh’s Broken Tusk: Ekdanta Ganesh – Courtesy: Wiral Feed The Serpent (Naga) Ganesha is often depicted wearing a serpent as a sacred thread (yajnopavita) around his torso or as a garland aroun
