True to our promise of being the #MuseumWithoutBoundaries, we brought our show at TARQ, Mumbai to audiences no matter where they were—or how old! During the two weeks that the show was on, we hosted on-ground and online events offering guided walkthroughs, a panel discussion and a workshop for children.
Guided walkthroughs at TARQ, Mumbai
Sarmaya’s curatorial team conducted three detailed walkthroughs for guests while the show ran at TARQ, Mumbai. Each session ran for over an hour, led in turns by Curatorial and Research Associate Kuhu Kopariha and Collections Associate Diksha Ahire. Guests were taken through all the major themes of environmentalism, the universal longing for home and a search for identity that informed Shifting Selves - Between meaning, mythology & mirage. The show also hosted walkthroughs led by organisations like Artswalk Mumbai and Carpe Art, who organised tours that enjoyed a huge turnout during Art Night Thursday.
Virtual events
Besides the physical tours, Team Sarmaya also conducted smaller show-and-tell sessions for our online audiences. Click below to learn more about:
