A juxtaposition of the global and the hyperlocal is taking place at the Indian Museum through “Endangered Spaces”, a collaborative photography exhibition, between April 12 and 15. The exhibition brings together the works of French artist Helene Guetary from his ‘Zeitgeist’ series alongside featuring ‘Kushti: The Lost Children of Postmodernism’ by Indian artist Jayesh Sharma. Curated by Anurag Kanoria, the exhibition promises a collaborative video installation underpinned by the artists’ common longing to immortalise moments.

While the exhibition begins on April 12, between 4pm and 7pm, doors are open on the following three days between 10am and 6pm. From stormy waters in Venice to the earthen tones of an akhada, the award-winning artists are set to bring unique flavours to the showcase, with Guetary focusing on landscapes across the globe and Sharma capturing the isolated world of Indian wrestlers striving for an identity.
