Kolkata ছাপাখানা যাচ্ছি! | Chhapakhana Jachhi! (A Print Workshop Visit)July 18, 2026, Meeting Point: Bhojon Rosik শিল্পী ও মুদ্রণ গবেষক অরণ্য সেনগুপ্তের সঙ্গে মুদ্রণেতিহাসের টাইম ট্র্যাভেল। বাংলার অন্যতম শেষ লেটারপ্রেসে উনিশ শতকীয় গ্রন্থনির্মাণের খুঁটিনাটি—একটি পৃষ্ঠার রচনা থেকে বিপণন। A journey through print history with artist and print scholar Aranya Sengupta, exploring the intricacies of 19th-century book-making at one of Bengal’s last remaining letterpresses — from composing a single page to advertising it. Bionote: Aranya Sengupta is a Kolkata–Santiniketan-based printmaker and book-artist holding a BFA and MFA in Graphic Art (Printmaking) from Kala Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, where he is currently pursuing a PhD in History of Art. His practice brings printmaking into public circulation through Artist's Books, zines, and graphic scrolls that engage directly with the book market and its consumers. He has exhibited at KNMA, Gallery Espace, and the 41st Daegu International Art Exhibition. He has developed five artist's books as part of the India Foundation for the Arts Grant, 2021-22. Aranya regularly publishes in journals like Harappa – Likhan Chitran, Haraphcharcha, and 1778: Granthacharcha. This field trip is part of DAG's artist commission programme, Points of Departure 2026, commissioned to Aranya Sengupta and his team. The programme will be in Bengali. |
