Free Online Talk · Gods in Living Color: Hindu Devotional Lithographs and the Birth of Modern Indian Visual Culture with Curator Laura Weinstein, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Join Laura Weinstein, the Ananda Coomaraswamy Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to explore a transformative yet often overlooked chapter in South Asian art history: the explosion of popular devotional art through lithographic printing in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Calcutta (now Kolkata). These vibrant and accessible mass-produced images brought the divine into everyday life, offering devotees new ways to engage with their gods, and reshaping spiritual experiences in colonial India. This talk is based on the curator’s exhibition of the same name at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
