Art Exchanges between Japan and India
Illustrated Lecture by Dr. Anu Jindal
Chair: Shri Shyam Saran, Life Trustee, IIC
The lecture will reflect on Japan-India ties strengthened through art exchanges. Both countries have an ancient and rich artistic and philosophical heritage. Buddhism formed the foundation, while in more recent times Okakura Kakuzo and Rabindranath Tagore created strong cultural bonds. Both Japanese and Indian aesthetics are based on deep profundity of philosophical expression beyond the surface image. In modern times, many art events have been held in both countries, these will be discussed, as well as what the future holds
The talk is part of “2017 The year of Japan-India Friendly Exchanges” endorsed by Embassy of Japan in India

The Aesthetic Joy: Holi and Carnival
The Aesthetic Joy: Holi and Carnival
Colour, music and dance shape the landscape of two celebrations separated by more than twelve thousand kilometres: Holi and Carnival. It is the time of tradition and transformation, transfiguration and transcendence, in India and in Brazil. In February and March 2017, the Brazilian photographer Ailton Silva and the Indian photographer Natasha Hemrajani embarked on a journey of swapped places, swapped views, to capture through their lenses these national festivities. Just as glitter and gulaal do, creativity, freedom, different gazes, light and shadow impregnated their art
