Talk by Reena Kallat

Reena Kallat’s work spans various genres – painting, photography, video and sculptural installations, and frequently deals with the condition of an individual in a rapidly changing society, ever susceptible to being reduced to an anonymous and forgotten statistic. Ms Kallat will talk about her work during her visit.
Roysten Abel’s A Hundred Charmers
7.30 PM, Taramati Baradari

A Hundred Charmers was fi rst conceived to create awareness about the snake charmer community. The inseparable instrument of the snake charmer, the been, is a solo instrument and Hyderabad will be the fi rst city in south India to experience an ensemble of a hundred charmers playing traditional and contemporary tunes on the been, with a few Scottish bagpiper ditties in between.
