Past, Present and Future
Right now, Tasneem Mehta's life reads almost like the cultural diary of the city. The convenor of the Mumbai chapter of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) since 1995, Mehta finds herself wishing that a day had 48 hours.
Packaging a punch
When an artist shuns the easel and canvas for materials found in a dustbin, he is written off. But not Indrapramit Roy. When he gave up the canvas for cardboard, he found himself written about.
Spreading sound
Instead of the closed confines of a classroom, in ancient India, all learning took place under the wide canopy of a Banyan Tree. And when school was over, villagers would gather in the same spot, every evening, to talk about the day over chai.
