A Russian artist in India? Among famous British & Japanese artists producing art about their India travels, Vasily Vereshchagin was lesser known. He painted mostly the Himalayan Mt Range, Kashmir. Here is “Prince of Wales at Jaipur” #booksky #phdchat #art #wildlife #museum #india #royal #academicsky

Is this a misplaced credit line (Prada instead of the humble #SouthAsia uncle who’s worn them) or blatant cultural appropriation? Why does #fashion whitewash #indigenous? Same with #India dupatta turning #Scandinavia scarf for women’s dress #indigisky #envhum #footwear #prada #racism #news #trending

#Immigration for cities? entering /exiting a city thru 15th century #India city Jodhpur’s Sojati gate was typical. These gates were guarded and closed at sunset. With #globalization the future could be without #borders ? #tarrifs imposed on #trade passing through a city too #artwhatshot #LA #visa

What makes #V&AMuseum #mughal exhibition most famous object #ShahJahan #jade #wine Cup unique? Cross-cultural icon Chinese ram head, Indian lotus, European acanthus! But here’s an exact copy sold #Sotheby’s ! #Qing emperors loved collecting Mughal jades
