India Foundation for the Arts invites you to a session on Riten Mozumdar, organised by Culturebagh and G5A Foundation for Contemporary Culture, with a workshop on block printmaking by Mala and Pradeep Sinha, Founders of BODHI, Vadodara, followed by a symposium on Riten Mozumdar’s life and times, with presentations by Ushmita Sahu, Nancy Adajania and Mayank Mansingh Kaul.

Ushmita Sahu received a grant from India Foundation for the Arts, under the Arts Research programme, with support from Titan Company Limited.

Ushmita Sahu received a grant to continue her ongoing research on artist-designer Riten Mozumdar, 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, she will attempt to address the lack of scholarship on the history of modern Indian design.
