Monday Murals- Rural Assam

The spirit of Assam: A proud farmer nurturing the land that feeds the nation

An Assamese woman skilfully catches fish in a field using the traditional 'Jakoi' fishing method,
while another woman plants rice saplings in the lush green paddy field.

With the help of bullocks, an Assamese farmer works the paddy fields, continuing
the age-old tradition of ploughing the land by hand
-------
The pillars of Maharaj Prithu Flyover (Noonmati–Dighalipukhuri) are transformed into an artistic tribute to rural Assam, with stunning murals that celebrate the region’s agricultural beauty.

Glimpses of ' LANDSCAPING SUBJECTIVITY'

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit “Landscaping Subjectivity” a thoughtfully curated exhibition showcasing the works of student artists from the Government College of Art & Crafts, Assam.
Featuring around 44 emerging artists, the exhibition presents a compelling range of recent works, organized into four thematic sections- The Landscapists, Landscaping Interior Monologue, Seeing and Looking, and Cultural Landscapes. The exhibition beautifully reimagines the idea of “landscape” in modern art from a fresh and thought-provoking perspective.

The exhibition has been organized by the Gauhati Artists’ Guild in collaboration with the Government College of Art & Crafts, Assam, as part of the Gauhati Artists’ Guild's Golden Jubilee celebrations. 
It is curated by Samudra Kajal Saikia with Anupam Saikia serving as co-curator, whose curatorial vision brings together diverse artistic voices into a cohesive and thought-provoking narrative.

Venue: Gallery GAG, Gauhati Artist Guild, Chandmari, Guwahati, Assam 
Date: 23rd March to 3rd April 2026
