India has some wonderful traditions for telling stories through objects. The December issue of Garland magazine features these along with their contemporary versions in e-commerce and a profile of the vibrant scene around Mumbai and Western India. Join us for the launch at MPavilion. Arts writer Andrew Stephens will talk about his essay on the work and life of Sandra Bowkett, a Victorian ceramicist whose life has become bound up with the world of Delhi potters. Let’s chat over a cup of chai.
