This exhibition presents "Kerala-Bengala: Miradas Cruzadas," a collection of approximately thirty previously unseen photographic works by Subhrajit Basu (Bodo), winner of the National Geographic Prize in 2008. The exhibition features large and medium-format photographs, primarily in black and white, alongside two photographic installations exploring India and the Kumba Mela festival.
The exhibition "Kerala-Bengala: Miradas Cruzadas" showcases approximately thirty photographic works by Subhrajit Basu, also known as Bodo, a recipient of the National Geographic Prize in 2008. These images, many in black and white and presented in large and medium formats, offer a personal and humanistic perspective on India. The exhibition aims to capture the photographer's environment and express his feelings towards it, presenting a reportage accompanied by narratives that bring India closer to the visitor. Curated by Menene Gras Balaguer, the project invites viewers to construct their own personal journey through India. Beyond individual photographs, the exhibition includes two significant photographic installations. The "India" installation is a narrative series featuring over 180 photographs, a projection with text, and audio, accompanied by the artist's reflections on his photographic experience in India and sound archives from musicologist Alain Daniélou. The "Kumba Mela" installation comprises 80 images chronicling one of India's most extraordinary festivals, which drew over 50 million pilgrims. This series is considered a key work by Basu and is contextualized with explanations of Hindu mythology related to the festival's purification rituals.
The exhibition is open to the public until January 30, 2011. Specific ticketing details beyond general museum admission are not provided on the page. Visitors are directed to the National Museum of Anthropology for viewing.
