Portraits of India: Markets, Merchants, and Artisans
"January 26- December 23, 2006This exhibit explores how people relate to objects through their occupations of producing, selling, and repairing them. The 48 images on display were chosen from a collection of about 1700 photographs taken by anthropologist Dr. Richard Lerner in 1968–70 and 1988–89. The three sections focus on artisans, merchants and service-providers. Supplementing these are a case of objects documented in the photos, and two video programs: an edited version of film footage shot by Lerner, and a series of still photographs of the Indian-American community in Berkeley, taken by Aditya Dhawan, an Indian architect, designer, and visual documentarian. Curated by Dr. Ira Jacknis with assistance from Amanda Maples."
