“We don’t just want to share the undeniable beauty of art...we want to consider the urgent issues of society that we all face, turning to the power of art to spark new debate and offer insight into our own lives,” shares Kamini Sawhney, Director of the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP).
This one-stop art destination, nestled in south India, houses more than 60,000 works, including sculptures, paintings, graphics, and textiles, among others, and is on the quest to make art more accessible to the community—bridging the disconnect between art and the general public. Speaking about blurring the boundary between art and audiences, Abhishek Poddar, the Founder and Trustee of MAP, puts forth: “My hope for MAP is that it can reach people, especially the next generation, in whose hands our future is held... I believe that they will be the generation of change, who’ll be the real curators of this museum, eventually.”
