MASH Podcast: Indian Art History - Episode Zero
Listen now
Description
We bring to you a brand new series by MASH podcast, revolving around the various facets of Indian Art right from the prehistoric times while mapping a journey all the way to contemporary art. Our journey expands through time and space as we explore art piece by piece. The podcast is hosted by Ayushi Chaurasia, an archivist and a collage artist. This is an introductory episode. The podcast works its way around finding rarities and at the same time also revisiting popular works of art. The podcast also always puts it out in the universe that there are always multiple ways of looking at art. There is no one way. As the current political agenda devised by the ruling government in India becomes more devisive and terse, this is an attempt to understand and telling the tales of plurality, diversity and contradictions of the people and culture of Indian subcontinent which can very well be mapped by the diverse art practices that have existed in tandem and with collaborative spirits throughout time.
