Finally spent time today with the amazing conservator Saloni Ghuwalewala who conserved @CP_Museum paintings featured in #ASplendidLand @NatAsianArt. And had excellent conversations last month on future research with CPM team @Dronah2 @ShailkaM, Mayank Gupta, Hansmukh Seth.
Without the enormous work of conservators, curators, administrators, @CP_Museum and @NatAsianArt, collaborations with scholars+editors in Udaipur & beyond, this exhibition would not have seen the light of day. Few links to their brilliant work:

If you’re visiting #asplendidland @NatAsianArt on the final weekend, do not miss the @NYUIFA graduate students’ curatorial conversations. Most fun to see the show with all of you last month. Emma Hartman, Ruth Waddington and Salih Cholakkalakath👇🏼
And, collaborated with @CP_Museum + @NatAsianArt to explore how audiences may sense the art, politics & ecologies of emotions in an exhibition. See the show in DC or @ClevelandArt (Summer 23). Don’t miss soundscapes by Amit Dutta, @NYUIFA students'

The Indian Express asked me to write about my vision for India at 100. I wrote about a new Constitution and a new preamble that I hope begins with 'We, the people and plants and animals of India ...' https://t.co/ZmCcC9G6Ve

In the past two weeks some amazing friends and colleagues have engaged #ASplendidLand @NatAsianArt. @LokaneetaJinee and @SangayMishra were in there for more than 4 hours at a stretch, over and above the time most art historians can focus. Thank you!
What a privilege to tour the exhibition with the co-curator of the show! #Asplendidland currently showing at the National Museum of Asian Art, DC! Do check it out! Ends this week! It’s an unforgettable experience!

My essay about a man I have come to love - in @Orion_Magazine I've been reading recent research about how plants cry or how they can be anaesthetised. Jagadish Bose said all this more than 100 years ago, but he was mocked; his research is still not cited https://t.co/UFQwGaagBS

For Earth Week, we talk about monsoons, princes, and punk rock on @SidedoorPod. #OurSustainablePlanet
We think of paintings as art, but can they also be data sources? Three hundred years ago, artists created massive, detailed paintings that can now serve as archival records to help understand our changing climate. Learn more with @NatAsianArt. 🎧 on: https://t.co/RMlna9JtJ4

It is customary for academics to say that they did not choose the title, but here is my review of @rentravailer 's new book: The Clash of Civilizations That Heralded a Rocky Relationship

England’s first foray into India, as Nandini Das details in “Courting India,” was far from successful.
