Meet & Greet

Hello, I am Adrika Das, i have just completed my final semester of MA in history. I am deeply interested in art history specially related to Asian and contemporary art and i think enrolling to this course would help me in expanding my knowledge further. Thanks.

I am Bharat Pratap Singh, hailing from New Delhi, India. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History from Hindu College at the University of Delhi. Subsequently, I pursued a degree in Fashion Design at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi. With over 30 years of experience in the textile and fashion industry, I have had the opportunity of working in both India and international markets. Furthermore, I have dedicated a portion of my career to academia, where I have taught and mentored students at various design institutions throughout the country. I found this course to be highly informative and educational, as it has provided me with valuable insights. I would like to extend my gratitude to MAP for offering this enlightening course.

Hello! I am Minoli from Sri Lanka, an interior design student who is working for Aluwihare Heritage Centre which is an institute that continues the legacy of artist Ena de Silva and helps preserve Sri Lankan arts & crafts.

I am very interested in learning more about arts and crafts to further my knowledge and to contribute more to the centre.

Hello all, I am Nilsha, currently working as graphic designer at Madlab, Bangalore. I have always been interested in arts, but it wasn’t part of my academics. By taking this course, i am taking a step in that direction. Hoping to learn some interesting stuff.

Hello!
My name is Akanksha Saxena. I hail from a small town called Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, India. I have been a digital journalist for around three years. Last year, I graduated with a Masters degree in Arts and Culture from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. In the past, my journalism has focused on very mainstream beats such as politics, national news, and the like. I have even covered niche beats such as LGBTQ+ issues, Healthcare, Mental Health, etc. I went to New York City to get more insight into the Arts and Culture ambit and use it in my future reporting.
I am so excited to do an Arts History course, especially looking into Modern and Contemporary Art in India. South Asian art has been something that I have always wanted to focus on. In one of my assignments in Graduate School was a profile of a Pakistani-American artist named Sanie Bokhari who uses Mughal miniature art techniques in her rather modern creations that talk about her journey as a Muslim woman living in the west.

I hope to connect with the others in the course. I am also excited to enrich my knowledge since I am currently unemployed and hope that whatever I learn here, I am able to apply it in my work.

Thank you!
