Chennai Photo Biennale

[The CPB Prism Newsletter – Leadership announcement] - mailchi.mp/chennaiphotobi…

Great to working with the @chennaicorp on this project!

Winners of the 4th annual CPB photo awards featured in the Hindu today!

From the women who upset a 90-year-old dance tradition in Kerala to the people rendered homeless by the Yamuna in spate — the winners of the latest @chnpb Photo Awards tell stories of the times we live in. Team Magazine writes for #THMagazine thehindu.com/life-and-style…

CPB Photo Awards - Edition IV 2023-24 is now open for entries - and this time with some new categories! chennaiphotobiennale.foundation/cpbx/projects/…

Yet another majestic building that combines finely the modern with the traditional is to vanish by the end of this year. The National Museum designed by G.B. Deolalikar and inaugurated in December 1960 is being demolished. Incidentally, he also designed the main block of the Supreme Court which hopefully will survive. The nation loses not just a majestic structure but also loses a piece of its recent history which is the target of a systematic erasure campaign of the Prime Minister. It has over 200,000 priceless exhibits and there is no guarantee that this national treasure will survive the supposed relocation. The National Museum also has a wonderful history. Its first director was Grace Morley, an American museologist who came to India for the first time in 1960 in that position. She remained Director till 1966 but later continued to stay in Delhi where she was cremated in 1985. She earned the respect of one and all and was referred to as Mataji Morley!!
