To Be or Not To Be: a Guidebook

Exploring the Deccan Heritage Foundation’s latest guidebook

Wednesday, 17th January, 6:30 PM (IST)? Mazumdar Shaw Auditorium, First?Floor, Museum of Art & Photography

Join us for a panel discussion at MAP as we explore the Deccan Heritage Foundation’s latest guidebook, Mysuru Srirangapatna, looking at how the book acts as more than a source of information for audiences visiting Mysore. Providing context into the architectural history of the city, the book becomes a way of inspiring an interest within visitors and the local community alike towards the heritage and history of this royal city.?

In this session, Helen Philon and George Michell introduce the guidebook and moderate a discussion between the contributors, Malavika Murthy and Shivendra Urs. The panel, looking at the importance and impact of such a text on local communities, will also unpack the problems of preparing a guidebook for a city with such a layered and complex history.?

This panel discussion is organised in collaboration with the Deccan Heritage Foundation.
