Outside Kolkata a few jute mills crank on, virtually unchanged since the industrial revolution. Powered by steam and sweat, work is a dance to the rhythms of the century-old machines. The Golden Thread follows the weft and warp of jute work, weaving the 'fibre of the future' with the dreams and desperations of its workers.

Covers from the collection of Arunabha Ghosh

This exhibition creates a sensory journey through the art of the album cover—where sight, touch, and sound converge. It explores how the physicality of records—their sleeves, textures, and imagery—evokes a personal, almost ritualistic connection to music. As described by Arunabha Ghosh, these objects become vessels of memory, linking past experiences through sensation. In contrast to today’s digital world, the exhibition invites viewers to rediscover music’s tangible presence through the intimate handling of albums.

Inauguration of the exhibition on Friday, 25 July 2025 at 18:30 hours
