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

Swahid Smarak Khetra

"Swahid Pranamu Tumak" is an Assamese phrase 
meaning "I bow to you, O Martyr"

Swahid Smarak Khetra stands as a powerful tribute to the martyrs of the
 Assam Agitation (1979–1985). 
It honors the 860 courageous individuals who laid down their lives in defense of Assam’s identity, language, and culture. The memorial complex preserves their legacy through carefully crafted busts and a gallery showcasing historic photographs from the Assam Movement, offering visitors a moving glimpse into this significant chapter of history.
