Kolkata stands witness to ‘manusher michhil’ as exhibition portrays pangs of the pandemic

KOLKATA: Bhabatosh Sutar (49), celebrated for his Durga idols in the city and beyond, hosted his first solo exhibition ‘Celebration’ — primarily installations and busts — as a memorial to the pandemic. The exhibition that got over on Sunday was held at Chander Haat conceived by veteran painter Tarun De — spread over 46 cottahs of land — in Behala’s Sorshuna.

The installations included the walk of migrant workers, impact of intolerance on history and art, pandemic-induced load on a class of people and a memory project of Sutar’s personal experiences of living in a Phalta orphanage for four years.
