Supriya Roy, Tagore Scholar from Kolkata, India gives us an account of Rabindranath Tagore’s encounter with Javanese batik and the subsequent spread of modern batik textile in India. During Rabindranath Tagore’s 1927 visit to Java and Bali, he recognised a Hindu culture that was perceived to have derived from India’s ancient civilisation. At the same time, Tagore and his companions were presented with many batik textiles, which forms the collection of the Nandan Museum today. These very textiles inspired the art of batik in Santiketan, where it became the centre of a revival of a modern batik textile tradition that spread all over India. Featuring Maria Wronska-Friend.

Possibilia is a philosophical term that describes objects that are possible. Any object is an existing object. A work of art is, in fact, a possibilium. It is an existing object made by an artist to serve an intended purpose.
For this exhibition, ARTO Movement invites artists to share anything that they have in mind – Possibilia as a platform for any possibility. We do not put any sort of restriction on the artists. In fact, artists are given the freedom to portray anything that they have in mind onto their artwork.
