ART EXHIBITION : BACK FROM FRANCE-Chapter 1 – Aishwarya Sultania: Lapidarian Apologues
BACK FROM FRANCE Series
Retelling the India-France-India story With the support of Raza Foundation
The history of Indian art in France has not been explored adequately by Indian or French art historians. With nearly a century of Indian artists visiting France and some of them living and working in the country, it is surprising that there has been no or little research on the impact of French art on Indian artists and vice versa, especially after India’s independence. There has been without doubt no effort to study the image of Indian artist in France and its evolution since the first wave of ‘free’ Indian artists touched the French shores.
With the end of the Second World War, the French government reinstituted the French Government scholarship in India at a time when India has just broken free from the shackles of its colonial masters. Among the first wave of free Indian artists who came to explore French art were artists like K.K Hebbar, Jehangir Sabawala and Ram Kumar. Until then, only the ‘modern’ Hungarian-Indian painter, Amrita Shergil had made a visible impact on the French public memory through her art. Incidentally, her sojourn in Paris took place before she left for India, hence the Indian subjects in her art were yet to manifest themselves in her work.
The re-instatement of the French government scholarship allowed young Indian artists who spoke French to travel and study at Ecole Nationale Superieure de Beaux-arts, Paris. Indian artists including the modern master, S.H Raza was part of the first wave of Indian artists to study, live and work in Paris after independence. Their reasons behind traveling to Paris were not a matter of chance. Paris was known as the centre of art across the world.
Indian master painters and printmakers such as Sayed Haider Raza, Akbar Padamsee, Ram Kumar, Akkitham Narayanan,Velu Vishwanadhan, Krishna Reddy, Zarina Hashmi, Nasreen Mohamedi, K.K Hebbar, Jehangir Sabavala and many more visited Paris in the 1940’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and discovered new styles, subjects, culture and in the process were deeply affected by French art, the French way of thinking and life through this unique opportunity.
All these influences found their way into their art practice. Despite the decline of the Ecole de Paris in 1960’s and the emergence of the New York School and the subsequently, other art centres around the world, Paris remains even today, in the Indian artist’s imagination, a veritable epicenter of excellence in art, philosophy, culture and literature.
The ‘Back From France’ program intends to provide a platform to deserving young Indian artists (of less than 40 years of age) who have returned from France after a stay of more than six months. Most of them are scholars from Ecole Nationale Superieure de Beaux-arts, Paris. Through two solo exhibitions of two different artists every year (in February and November, from 2018-2021), the ‘Back from France’ program shall try to locate the art practice of these young artists in the larger sphere of contemporary Indian art practice and also challenge the existing notions of encounter, reception, influence and impact of the French milieu on Indian art today.

Celebrating World Heritage Week- Visit to Nizamuddin Dargah
This magnificent dargah (shrine) in the National Capital invites you for a journey as it spreads the divine light that gives peace to hearts and souls with the essence of rose in the air. It is considered auspicious to be buried near a saint, and this is why there are so many tombs in this corner of Delhi. On our way, we will experience the sights and sounds of the Nizamuddin basti, passing by Urs Mahal, the white-marbled Chausanth Khamba, the little-known tomb of Atgah Khan, and a 14th century baoli. The conversations will revolve around the poetry of Mirza Ghalib, spirituality, qwwalis of Hazrat Amir Khusro and the wonders of the long-gone era.
This guided tour is free.

Sahapedia, in partnership with UNESCO, organises multi-city heritage events for persons with special needs
- Events in Delhi, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, and Amritsar coincide with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which falls on December 3
New Delhi, Dec. 01: Ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Sahapedia, the open access encyclopaedia of Indian culture and heritage, is organising a series of multi-city events for persons with special needs, in partnership with UNESCO.
The United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), which is observed annually across the world on December 3, will focus on the theme of “empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality”.
‘The main aim of these engagements is to enhance the experience of persons with disabilities, so they are not excluded from involvement with India’s rich heritage,” said Vaibhav Chauhan, Secretary, Sahapedia.
Aligned with Sahapedia’s objective of making Indian heritage equally accessible to all groups of society, Sahapedia will be organising the events in five cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Amritsar and Bhubaneswar.
In all of the cities, Sahapedia has collaborated with local partners such as The Maker’s Collaborative (Kolkata), Access for ALL (Mumbai) and the Partition Museum (Amritsar), to execute these activities.
The first event, which was held in Kolkata on November 30, showcased West Bengal’s tradition of BeniPutul or glove puppetry. Conducted by the state’s well-known folk puppeteer BasantaGhorai, the puppetry show was organised for persons with hearing disabilities.
One of the highlights of Sahapedia’s IDPD series is a tactile walk-through and storytelling session at New Delhi’s Crafts Museum, which has a vast repository of over 30,000 artefacts and displays of more than 5,000 objects such as puppets and bronze sculptures. The session, to be held on December 4, will involve examining the museum’s outdoor gallery through tactile exploration with a group of visually challenged women.
At Mumbai’s Anandi Special School, on December 3, a session on folk tales and an art workshop will be held in order to engage children with intellectual disabilities. Other important events include a discussion in Bhubaneswar, on December 2, focusing on
“Breaking Barriers: Exploring the Odisha State Museum with the Visually Impaired.”
Sahapedia’s IDPD week will conclude at Amritsar’s Partition Museum on December 8, where persons with mobility impairment will engage with oral histories and narratives of partition survivors.
Since last year, Sahapedia has organised and curated over 50 heritage-based events for nearly 2,000 differently-abled persons. These include walking tours, sensory experiences in museums and other spaces that support special needs. The events are conducted in collaboration with expert consultants and organisations that are qualified and equipped to facilitate these programmes.
The user-groups that Sahapedia targets are those of the visually impaired, hearing impaired, wheelchair users, those with intellectual disabilities (learning disability, autism and cerebral palsy), reduced mobility, and slow learners.
For the purpose of enhanced heritage experiences, special toolkits are created, which include tactile recreation of culturally relevant topics and Braille books for the visually impaired.
