Engendered in association with the Embassy of Netherlands presents Inheritances of Light, Geographies of Loss. Inheritances of Light, Geographies of Loss is a multidisciplinary exhibition curated by Myna Mukherjee exploring light as a cultural inheritance, memory and rupture, shaped by Indo–Dutch histories of exchange, belief, labour, and material practice. Bringing together historical and contemporary works and tracing legacies from the time of Rembrandt & Vermeer, through Dutch Bengals, miniatures and still life to textiles, glass, and public art – the exhibition reframes illumination as an ethical act of attention, care, and translation across time and cultures. The show has been designed for a special cultural delegation including directors of Europe’s most prestigious museums, Mauritshuis Museum – home to the best of Dutch paintings of Rembrandt and Vermeer and the Drents Museum – known for its major international exhibitions in the fields of archaeology, art and history; and a Dutch ambassadorial cultural delegation.
Featuring over 25 artists from India, Netherlands, Sweden and Pakistan, the opening night will also have a live fashion presentation on Mughal couture, silhouette and textile by couturier JJ Valaya.
