Event Description: ART: Rajas Nawabs & Firangees 1750-1850, Treasures from French & Indian Archives
ALLIANCE FRANCAISE DE DELHI and UNITED SERVICE OF INSTITUTION with the support of NATIONAL MUSEUM present a unique exhibition: a French window onto a rich phase in Indian history. Through carefully curated artwork — including visual material that’s never before been seen in India — and accompanying text by historians and experts, the exhibition is centred around a series of stories: a journey through the lives of 12 Indian rulers and French-speaking officers serving under them during the 18th and the first decades of the 19th century. Sharing court life, some even ruling over vast jagirs, these officers commissioned, or sometimes themselves put together, collections of manuscripts and paintings. Today, many of these priceless treasures are to be found in Paris, in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France (BNF), and are displayed for the first time in India. The high-resolution pictures allow the general public a rare access to a selection from these unique albums, normally restricted to a handful of accredited researchers.
Organized by: Alliance Francaise De Delhi, 72, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi – 110003

Throw A Word And Hear A Story With This Spontaneous Storytelling Session With Anand Sivakumaran
What’s Happening?
Routine can sometimes get too monotonous and boring, right? We hear you! Make your Saturday evening a bit more fun with Instant Kisse, a spontaneous storytelling session with Anand Sivakumaran happening on August 8 at 5 PM via Zoom. Anand Sivakumaran is an author, screenwriter and podcaster who loves to instantly come up with stories and entertain you. In this interactive session, for every word you throw or prompt him with, he will tell you a story for the same. For example, you say Astrophysics and he will tell you how Vidyut travelled from the Great Wall to an alternate reality without phones or cars, you say Greatest Love of All and he will tell you about Harsh who hoarded plastic bags, until the day the BMC dude came calling. During the session, you can throw word prompts, dialogues, names of people and they would become part of the story – e.g. Isabgol, Trump, Mere Karan Arjun aayenge, are all added to a story about twins fighting over a bag of chips. Excited? We sure are! Join us for a fun session with Anand Sivakumaran where you will hear a story for every word you throw at him.
