Shobha Deepak Singh, director of the Sriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra, has spent decades observing and working closely in Indian performing arts. Her photographs of stalwarts like Pandit Birju Maharaj, Sonal Mansingh, Uma Sharma, and several younger artists like Asavari Mazumdar, Sharmistha Mukherjee and Rajendra Gangani in rehearsals provide a visual history of the practice and tradition of performance in India. For this solo show of photographs spanning 50 years, Dr Alka Pande, the curator, selected 70 from over 1,000 of Singh’s images. The accompanying book will feature 250 images.
Dance Stroke, 25 March to 2 April, Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, Delhi. For more information, contact Poonam Goel on +91 98111-43131.
