Please join us for a talk by architect and academician Mustansir Dalvi as he reflects on the city of Bombay tracing how memory and place shape our experience of the metropolis.

An architect, academic and author, Mustansir Dalvi has research interests that include Mumbai’s built history and its urban transformation. His essay in the volume accompanying Bombay Framed leads the reader on a walk through memory and place.

Through a rich selection of artworks, archival material, photography and multimedia displays, the exhibition Bombay Framed reconstructs Bombay’s journey — its port economy, industrialisation, cosmopolitan inhabitants and layered histories of migration that have defined its identity. It traces the constant motion of a metropolis shaped by migration, trade, industry and culture.
