The exhibition, curated by Jochen Sokoly and Alison Ohta, opens on 15 March, and is scheduled to run at the VCUQatar Gallery until 17 April, 2010.
India: East|West looks at a critical period in the history of colonial India at the end of the 18th/beginning of the 19th centuries when ideas of the enlightenment brought about a quest to discover the geography, natural habitat, history, cultures and architecture of the Indian subcontinent through a discourse between the scholarly elites of both British colonialists and their Indian subjects.
