For experienced artist and printmaker Lalit Mohan Sen (1898–1954), photography was not more than a hobby. He considered it a holiday game on a large scale, using with analog photography during his broad journey across the country, equipped with a sketchbook and a camera. Today, Madras’s Espace 24 Gallery Alliance Frankeis, everything from the water and cloud sky, the delightful and distorted frame of women caught the middle-huh or mid-puff, and the images and places of indigenous people mostly Uttarakhand’s constituencies of Uttarakhand From, everyone makes. For a great performance of the depth of his artistic practice on the film. The photos on this performance have never seen from the last decade of his life, but the collection runs back with a photo in 1922 in Kashmir with a photo.

From the series of Cop Shiva, my mother and her technicold saris. Photo Credit: Special Arrangement

A waterfall of loose silver hair, gently caressed with wind passing gusts. Pallu, a bright purple saree with her own life. Homes and walls that seem familiar, which carry childhood stories, are sometimes deprived. In the offhis series of extraordinary photographs by artist police Shiva, a vibrant saree collection of a mother becomes a celebration of her desires, and sometimes a revenge of a revenge of a life devoid of small happiness. These frames, as well as the series of South Korean photographer Lim Sea Suk, are still life photos of ‘Books and Things’, which beautify Bookshelves, which fascinates them through their widespread journey. He believes that a person’s bookshell is a mirror for his personality. South Korean writer and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature Han Kang’s book Shelf is one of them, as there are many libraries of schools, addition to books and shiny trophies and medals. Although both work bodies are clearly complemented for each other, they meet when the identity is discovered and how it belongs to physical property or its absence.

@Gallery, Inco Center. Until 22 February.

This is time. To see. to be noticed

A gallery which is characterized by a very important female gaze. In the newly built first floor gallery of Lalit Kala Academy, women artists from all over the world have bare the need for a perspective that is still lacking in visual medium such as photography. In these powerful, bizarre and unexpected frames, women are responding to the world only through photography. Take the unequal heat of Bhumika Saraswati, which is a document of how Dalit and tribal women remain in the climate discourse despite our food systems or Palestinian photographer being important for Ahl al-Aard of Summer Hazbaun, which remains in the climate discourse, which is deep roots. Search for the relationship, which Palestinians have yet with their land, which is still with the land, which is still with the land. Artistic imagination, projects asks hard questions, and provide hope for more representation.

@FIRST Floor, Fine Kala Academy, Egmore. By 16 March.
