---- |
1)Tagore in Advertisments
In his lifetime Tagore was a featured in over a hundred advertisments between1889 and 1941.He did not charge for the advertisments but often endorsed a product to push the nationalist agenda. Arun Kumar Roy, who is researching on this, will be curating this exhibition.
2) Of Tagore and Cinema
Tagore beleived in a separate identity for the film media, freed from literary shackles, as he felt that cinema as an art form could fulfill itself completely without the spoken word. In 1917, Tagore was first filmed by Nitin Bose. The occassion was one of the regular dance dramas at Santiniketan. In 1923, Naresh Chandra Mitra filmed his short story Manbhanjan. Tagore's acting on stage was phenomenal and in 1929,he filmed Tapati with Dhirendranath Ganguly. In 1931, B N Sarkar, the founder of New Theatre, filmed Natir Puja, directed by Tagore. Rare stills from these films will be exhibited. An award winning documentary on the subject by Arun Kumar Roy will also be a part of this exhibition.
3) Tagore in Philately

This form of running stitch originated with Bengali housewives mending and reinforcing old clothes with strands of thread drawn from the colourful borders of old sarees and creating at the same time simple designs with them. Scenes from Tagore's dance dramas, short stories, songs, poems and his very popular Bengali primer Sahaj Path will be illustrated through Kantha stitch. The exhibition is being curated by Shamlu Dudeja who has over the last 25 years dedicated herself to the revitalisation of Kantha. |

Rabindranath Tagore Centre, ICCR Kolkata presents in its Horizon Series Rabindranath Tagore’s 'Chandalika' (a production by Rangakarmee) Directed by Usha Ganguly |
Satyajit Ray Auditorium
RTC, ICCR, 9 A, Ho Chi Minh Sarani,
Kolkata - 700071. on Thursday, at 6.30 p.m. |
As a part of Tagore’s 150th Birth Anniversary celebrations, Rangakarmee launched 'Rabindra Rangayatra' with two home productions 'Chandalika' and 'Manasi'.
Reworked by Usha Ganguly, Rangakarmee’s 'Chandalika' bypasses the commonly performed dance - drama, spotlighting the inexplicably neglected original prose play written in 1933. In this first Hindi version of Chandalika in decades, Usha Ganguly contrasts the mother as a coarse and cynical woman, with her daughter Prakriti as a delicate and sensitive girl, yet to realise the ways of the world. While showing the conflict of love in its varied forms, the play shows the stark realities of society - disparity, prejudice, exploitation and the universal search for love and happiness. This makes Chandalika written in 1933, relevant even today. |
