Ushmita Sahu will present her ongoing research on the artist-designer Riten Mozumdar, to bring his work out of anonymity and explore certain areas of undocumented cultural, political and institutional histories between the 1950s to 1970s. By analysing Mozumdar’s work and situating his practice within the socio-cultural, economic spheres and Nehruvian socialistic aesthetics of newly-independent India, she will attempt to address the lack of scholarship on the history of modern Indian design.

Ushmita Sahu received a grant from India Foundation for the Arts, under the Arts Research programme, with support from Titan Company Limited.
