Join us for an illustrated lecture with Dr. Sudeshna Guha as she delves into how photography borrowed from and advanced the picturesque aesthetic, and how commercial studios profited from it. 

Histories in the Making: Photographing Indian Monuments, 1855-1920 offers a profound look at how early photographers captured the essence of India's monumental heritage. Curated by Dr. Sudeshna Guha, the exhibition highlights the diverse artistic practices and cultural exchanges that shaped these images, revealing their influence on both colonial and Indian visual traditions. Through a range of rare photographs and archival materials, the exhibition uncovers the layered histories and narratives embedded in these iconic images
