Historian Rudrangshu Mukherjee joins us on 9 October 2026 for a talk on the life and creative legacy of Satyajit Ray, examined through the lens of his long-time visual chronicler, Nemai Ghosh, in the backdrop of our exhibition, Faces and Facets: Satyajit Ray in Colour.

A columnist, historian, and author, Rudrangshu Mukherjee specialises in modern Indian history, with a focus on colonial Bengal and nationalism. He is Chancellor of Ashoka University and a former editor of The Telegraph.

Faces and Facets: Satyajit Ray in Colour is devoted exclusively to the colour photographs of Nemai Ghosh, bringing forth the warmth of interiors, the modulations of light across surfaces, and the subtle textures of the environments within which Ray conceived his films. Together, the photographs offer a luminous meditation on Ray's presence—at once monumental and intimate—inviting viewers to encounter him anew through the quiet radiance of colour.
