It was only fitting to bring together a panel to discuss the importance of the promotion of culture and value of patronage to the arts at the inauguration of a permanent exhibit in memory of Dr Jamshed J Bhabha, the late co-founder of the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA). Wednesday evening, the Nariman Point-based performance venue and cultural institution unveiled the permanent memorial, which comprises his belongings, awards and archival photographs, at its Jamshed Bhabha Theatre.
