The Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) held its fourth edition of the travelling festival of City as a Museum which reimagined the city of Kolkata as a living museum by choosing specific spots as representatives of the city’s culture and heritage. The festival focused on the Tebhaga peasant movement, exploring narratives of women's involvement in the resistance, cartographical practices and spatial evolution of the city in the context of rehabilitation and migration. The 10-day travelling festival was also accompanied by live performances, heritage walks, art installations and talks at historic sites.
