Workshop | Photomontage

Sun, June 15, 2025 | 11 am - 12:30 pm

Manik Bagh palace, India’s earliest icon of modernism and cross-cultural design, merges architecture, art, design, and crafts into a harmonious entity – a Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art).

Join us for a walkthrough of the exhibition, followed by a workshop where we reimagine spaces by cutting, layering, and remixing found images, paper cutouts, or personal photographs, and construct visual storyboards using the materials provided through playful experiments with perspective, scale, and texture.

All materials will be provided, but participants are free to bring in their own photographs. You can also share your photos with us at education@bdlmuseum.org and we can print them for you.

Inspired by the ongoing exhibition, Eckart Muthesius and Manik Bagh – Pioneering Modernism in India.
