The Legacy
of Loss: Perspectives on the Partition of Bengal, is a collaborative

Foundation. The exhibition will showcase paintings, prints, photographs,
installations, and more, which features artists like Amritah Sen, Debasish Mukherjee, Dilip Mitra, Paula Sengupta, and Vinayak Bhattacharya. The
exhibition would provide an intimate look at the disruption of harmony and the

political border, separating human bonds and connections.

On August 22, the talk will
focus on ‘Revisiting the Legacy of
Loss (Session I)’ where the panelists will be Vinayak Bhattacharya, Dilip Mitra, Amritah
