Description
CIMA’s 25th Anniversary show titled “Relook,” aims to revisit the historical periods depicted in its diverse exhibitions over the past quarter-century. Through this comprehensive showcase, the exhibition not only recapitulated these periods but also presented a compelling historical narrative of Indian art, intricately woven with the socio-political context that has influenced its expressive language. To provide deeper context and insight into the exhibition’s essential ideas and captured phases, esteemed art historians, social scientists, and artists – Alka Pande, R. Siva Kumar, Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Partha Mitter and Rita Datta, have contributed invaluable essays to the catalogue.
