How Mumbai Gallery Weekend Is Getting Its Mojo Back

How Mumbai Gallery Weekend is getting its mojo back After a period of reflection and renovation, gallerists hope to revive the in-person aspect of art-viewing. Some 22 art venues in the city will stay open late to welcome visitors to this year’s Mumbai Gallery Weekend. January 17, 2021 / 09:59 AM IST Many art lovers spent the last year learning to pinch and zoom the details on modern masterworks in virtual exhibitions, or press and hold Instagram Stories to appreciate the finer points of contemporary paintings. They rarely had the opportunity in that period to be in the same room as the pieces, overhear the assessments of strangers, and hover over platters of wine and hors d’oeuvres. Some of the old-normal magic is expected to return as galleries, which gradually reopened towards the end of 2020, will coordinate to take in visitors for longer hours until January 17 as part of the Mumbai Gallery Weekend.

How the Parsis Shaped Theatre in Colonial Bombay

How the Parsis Shaped Theatre in Colonial Bombay Flops, frauds or community disapproval did not prove obstacles to the growth of the theatre enterprise. Elphinstone Circle in Bombay in the 1870s. Photo: Lee-Warner Collection/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA When one thinks of Horniman Circle â the ring of elegant old buildings in south Mumbai â today, several associations spring to mind: the glossy storefronts of Starbucks and Hermes â the temples of neoliberal globalism; men snoozing on the gardenâs shaded benches â a respite from Mumbaiâs prickly afternoon heat; and the ghosting of an all but forgotten colonial past in the worn-out balustrades framing the round.

Going the extra milestone: Mumbai preserves remnants of colonial past

A colonial-era milestone almost totally submerged on the pavement in Mumbai Photograph: Rahul Chemburkar Buried for years under Mumbai’s new roads and ever-increasing layers of development, the British passion for cartography is set to rise up on the city’s streets again thanks to a project to preserve its colonial milestones. When workers from Mumbai municipal corporation (BMC) were demolishing unauthorised buildings three years ago, they unearthed a basalt stone marker with a pyramidal top and a Roman numeral on it – a British milestone and one of 16 laid out in the early 19th century on the road between Horniman Circle and Sion, then the city’s outer limit.
