Science Gallery Bengaluru’s online exhibition ‘Contagion’ explores diseases, behaviours and emotions
The Hindu
‘Contagion’ features 16 interactive exhibits and more than 40 live programmes
A house is marked for victims. Officials carry out searches, isolating infected people. Authorities attempt to disinfect a man by spraying a chemical from a hose. Beds in hospitals are well distanced from each other. A mass of people depart the city on foot with their belongings. A man lies on the graveyard, hugging a tombstone. Ranjit Kalgaonkar’s sprawling interactive drawing — showcased at Science Gallery Bengaluru’s online exhibition, ‘’, from April 30 onwards — shows a city disrupted by a disease. Despite the painful familiarity the aforementioned scenes’ description evoke, they have nothing to do with the ongoing pandemic. The artwork, completed in 2017, is a depiction of events from the Bombay plague in the 1890s.More Related News
