Immersive and Introspective: Sohrab Hura’s “The Forest”
Kicking off the conversation is Sohrab Hura, whose exhibition The Forest is on view at Experimenter gallery, Ballygunge Place, Kolkata from 5 November through January. Hura combines his signature photographic language with drawing, evoking a dreamlike, almost Instagram-feed effect.

On Mumbai’s art circuit, Natasha Preenja, also known by her artist name Princess Pea, debuts her first solo exhibition titled वज़न (Wazan) at TARQ gallery.
