Snapshots from the CIMA awards: The Kolkata Art Festival 2017

CIMA and Pushpa Bitan Friendship Society hosted The Juxtaposition in collaboration with scenographer Swarup Dutta (inset) on February 9 at Daga Nikunj. The event, which was a part of the CIMA Awards: Kolkata Art Festival 2017, with The Telegraph as associate sponsor, saw around 15 floral artists from Pushpa Bitan Friendship Society come together to create flower-based installations, enhancing Swarup’s photographs. The display was a delightful mix of photography, art installations and flowers. All the works on display had a common theme: “modernity, as it has entered the lives of women through technological advancements to help them with all their chores”.
