Ushmita Sahu received a grant to continue her ongoing research on artist-designer Riten Mozumdar, intending to bring his work out of anonymity and explore certain areas of undocumented cultural, political and institutional histories between the 1950s to 1970s. By analysing Mozumdar’s work and situating his practice within the socio-cultural, economic spheres and Nehruvian socialistic aesthetics of newly-independent India, this project will attempt to address the lack of scholarship on the history of modern Indian design.

This is the first exhibition based on her ongoing research. The show assembles archival material including namdas, furnishings, dress and sarees, scarves, design samples, wood blocks, metal dice for jaali work, drawings, photographs, calligraphy paintings “Dinanto Belay” series and more.
