#InternationMuseumDay Highlights from the British

#InternationMuseumDay
Highlights from the British museum last week:
1) The Parthenon sculptures.
2) Nataraja from Thanjavur.
3) The Amaravati sculptures.
4) Jamini Roy.
.
The museum's diverse collection makes one think about colonial acquisition and question the ownership.
However, I could not stop observing how the artworks were displayed. I must commend their dedicated efforts in maintaining, preserving and making them accessible to all. The writing, lighting, displays, and organisation of space really makes a difference in the experience of visiting the museum.
.
We still have a thing or two to learn about presenting, packaging and marketing - of both ourselves and the works of art in our museums.
.
I want to take this vibrant museum culture back home. Our rich cultural heritage deserves to be showcased in a more comprehensive manner, prioritising better preservation, thoughtful curation and deep respect and appreciation for our own cultural treasures.

Life with a soundtrack that's been stuck in my hea

Life with a soundtrack that's been stuck in my head this last month🐒

Life update🐒 Completed my MFA with a distinctio

Life update🐒
Completed my MFA with a distinction in September 🥳
Worked 3 part-time jobs as an art technician at a school, social media coordinator at Brookes Creative and FOH team leader at an events company till December in Oxford.
Moved to my sister's place temporarily in January while looking for a full-time role.
.
I haven't shared much on here till now as I haven't been creating art, but been focused on working and getting a stable job and that process has been time consuming.
.
To anyone who's done the job hunting process, especially in another country and in the arts field, you know how gruelling and demotivating it can be when you get multiple rejections and it feels like there's no end to it. It felt like my 8 years of experience as an independent freelance artist and educator in India did not count for much, and I was looking at getting a 'proper' job as a beginner. Fingers crossed, things work out somehow, and change very quickly, in ways you do not expect them to 🤞🏼
.
I moved to London in February for a full-time lecturer position in Art and Design. I had less than a week to find a place to stay, pack, move and start work immediately without much preparation. Been thrown into the deep end, and slowly finding my feet. Still pinching myself everytime I walk out of the college in central London.
.
It's taken me a month to process all this. I'm extremely thankful and wanted to share this 🥳
.
Side note: My dad always asked me what I'm going to do with art - with more curiosity and uncertainty than judgment. He couldn't understand it as it wasn't a traditional choice. I know he would be proud. I wish I could tell him and my grandparents as well. I know my Iyya had big dreams for me and was secretly proud.
.
Every small win has a bit of sadness if you've lost someone you can't share it with but it's okay ♥️
