The exhibition brings together a new body of work, spanning sculptures and drawings, seen together for the first time in the city.

Barmanโ€™s body of work is anchored in his personal connections forged with the residents of the erstwhile old homes of North Kolkata, those who had migrated from post-Partition Bangladesh to settle in the industrial fringes of the northern suburbs of the city, as well as those who relocated from different parts of the country to find new life in Kolkata.

Today's edition of ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ป๐’†๐’๐’†๐’ˆ๐’“๐’‚๐’‘๐’‰ (T2) brings out a story on the exhibition and the Experimenter Outpost in the Alipore Museum's Old Art Gallery.

The Alipore Museum is a world unto itself. If you haven't visited yet, you are missing something. Really.
