Your Week at MAP
Museum of Art and Photography (MAP)
A new space for art, culture and community in the heart of Bengaluru
June 20 - 27
Hello,
This week at MAP, we have a variety of events ranging from the historical, to experimental, to care-based explorations, and a performance. For those of you who instead prefer to sit quietly and read, we have an article from our archives on KG Subramanyan to celebrate the 100th year of his birth anniversary. Take a deep dive into his paintings, as well as the life experiences that informed his practice. And if you think any of your friends or family would love to attend the events or read the piece, you can share this email with them!
Warmly,
Team MAP
