To complement their ongoing exhibition, titled Voicing A Presence: Women artists in the Jehangir Nicholson collection, the Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation (JNAF) have been conducting a series of programmes. The latest event is a discussion, Connecting the Bricks: Art, Architecture and the Environment that explores how architecture can be aesthetically pleasing as well as utilitarian.

Kamini Sawhney, conservator at JNAF, explains, “Jehangir Nicholson was a collector who patronised art and funded research. Since women artists made their presence felt in the 1970s, his portfolio boasted of a variety of art by women artists. Apart from showcasing art, JNAF is also about giving a platform to discuss topics pertaining to the arts and cultural heritage of the city through photographs, films and discussions.”
