Tuesday, 23rd?January, 6:30 PM (IST),? Mazumdar Shaw Auditorium, First?Floor, Museum of Art & Photography
The sensorial power in music, that may belong to different cultures, times, locations, nevertheless finds common threads of connection with us. It also brings people together, connecting us in unexpected and profound ways. Exploring this universal language of music and sound is a special performance at MAP by MoonArra where we celebrate the confluence of different strands of music, bringing together the power of voice, instrument and movement in a harmonised choreography.?

A journey through MAP’s Museum Without Borders

Join us as Khushi Bansal from MAP's Exhibitions team takes us through the process of linking collections, and finding the commonalities and differences between them. Come along with a treasured object, a digital image, or just something that resonates with you as we draw connections and weave a story around what you bring, and an artwork on display at the museum.
This event is inspired by Museum Without Borders. A unique digital collaboration between MAP and institutions in India and across the world, each episode juxtaposes an artwork from MAP with an object from a partner museum, and explores commonalities and differences in style, subject or narrative.

READ
“'When Abhishek (MAP’s founder) asked me to take a look at his collection and that there was a possibility that I could exhibit my work here, I was excited for this opportunity. I was particularly interested in vintage photographs for the reason that they were so formal and often inaccessible to everyone. I have always toyed with the idea of playing with formal compositions and reimagining them in my own way'. The exhibition brings out the various motifs from moments in Alex’s life to patterns that have inspired this pattern farmer through the years.” Rahul Mahesh?of MAP sits with contemporary artist,?Alexander Gorlizki?as he talks about his journey in art, his travels and experiences, and his relationship with master miniature painter Riyaz Uddin?and?Pink City Studio?ahead of his ongoing exhibition?What The Camera Didn’t See?by?Alexander Gorlizki/Pink City Studio. What The Camera Didn’t See?by?Alexander Gorlizki/Pink City Studio?is currently?on display at the Infosys Foundation Gallery, Ground Floor at MAP.
MAP ACADEMY
"A form of traditional cloth-painting made for the worship of?matas, or goddesses, mata ni pachedi is associated with western India’s nomadic Vaghri community, which has traditionally lived along the banks of the Sabarmati river in Gujarat. As members of this non-dominant caste were not allowed to enter temples, they began creating these paintings around three hundred years ago as part of their own shrines for worship. Deriving their name from the Gujarati?word for ‘shawl of the goddess’ or ‘goddess backdrop’, mata ni pachedi paintings were traditionally used as canopies and backdrops in temporary wooden shrines, and also formed objects of devotion themselves." In this article, published in The Print,??MAP Academy?explores the vibrant stories in fabric of Gujarat's mata ni pachedi.
