Remembering Suranjan Basu: His Life and Art

As the closing programme of the ongoing exhibition The Art of Suranjan Basu (1957 – 2002), KCC in association with Seagull presents a discussion on Suranjan Basu’s life and work, how integral and unavoidable politics was to him, and his role in The Realists – an artists’ collective that he co-founded with some of his close friends, which valued group activity and collaboration over solitary studio practice.

This discussion features artist, academic, and curator Dr Paula Sengupta, and geologist Prof Sugata Hazra – a friend of Basu and a part of The Realists group; with academic and art historian Dr Soumik Nandy Majumdar as the discussant.
