Walk into Asiatic Society of Mumbai’s Durbar Hall for an art exhibition outside of the gallery’s white cube space. The oval-shaped room will hold a display of photographs by musician-turned-photographer Zubin Balaporia and pastel pencil artworks by artist Nandita Badiani at a two-day exhibition titled Strokes and Shutters.

You might know Balaporia not only from previous photography exhibitions but also famously as the keyboardist from one of India’s most prominent rock bands, Indus Creed (formerly Rock Machine). Curious about his journey from music to photography, we inquire about it, to which the music director recalls being blown away by the art form during a trip in 2013 or 2014 with a friend who was documenting everything with a small camera. Since then he was “firmly bitten by the bug”.
