NOTEWORTHY ART EXHIBITIONS TO VISIT IN DELHI THIS WEEK

Galleries and cultural centres are adorned with the best of modern and contemporary art, and connoisseurs are delighted by the sheer variety on display.

One would be hard-pressed to visit all the art exhibitions on view currently, so here is a guide to the ones that caught our eye: 1. Francis Newton SouzaCentenary Exhibition by Saffron Art Dates: Friday, January 10 - Wednesday, January 22, 2025 Venue: Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA), Bikaner House, New Delhi "Renaissance painters painted men and women making them look like angels. I paint for angels, to show them what men and women really look like," is a quote attributed to the legendary modernist and founder of the Progressive Artists' Group, F N Souza.

To commemorate his birth centenary, Saffronart has organised a definitive exhibition showcasing his life and work in partnership with the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Grosvenor Gallery in London, and Harper Collins.

Apart from a display of works, talks and panel discussions on Souza's historical significance in the art market were also organised on the opening weekend. Additionally, a film by Vinod Bhardwaj titled 'FN Souza: Father of Modern Indian Art' was screened and an illustrated book was launched. Published by Harper Collins India, it contained essays on Souza by Elena Crippa, Murtaza Vali, Roobina Karode, Jesal Thacker, and Yashodara Dalmia. The exhibition is the culmination of a year-long celebration that opened with an exhibition in Goa titled 'In/Of Goa: Souza at 100' in Goa, followed by one in London, and another in Art Mumbai in November 2024.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS

Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
