Art Exhibition: Roar Like A Paintbrush by Ms. Stephanie Douet

Exhibition 'Roar Like A Paintbrush', a solo exhibition of portraits used on photographs of the British Raj by artist Ms. Stephanie Douet from UK is a set of new paintings based on the Palace's collection of 19th century photographs of British Political agents and residents. The title evoked the idea that art has a place in power and identity politics, and that the tiny whiskers of a miniaturist's paintbrush can be as mighty as the sword.

MMCF supported her exhibition by providing Chhota Darikhana, Ganesh Chowk, The City Palace Museum, Udaipur.
