Event Description

Join us at the BIC Library for a special opportunity to explore art and art history books from a collector’s personal library. This session will highlight the Pahari style, renowned for its vivid colors and intricate details that beautifully capture stories of ancient myths and timeless moments.

Dive deeper into the history and magic of these books, followed by a group activity to spark conversation and reflection.

Note: If you have an art book you’d like to talk about, do bring it along to share with the group.

This event is a part of BIC’s Programmes at the Library.

BIC Library Programmes are designed to mould the library into a community-centered reading space. Our primary goal is to curate sessions that cater to the diverse interests and ages within our library community. Through this programming we wish for the library to become a dynamic space that goes beyond traditional book-related activities.

We also aim to provide a platform for members of the community to sometimes host these events we curate. If you have event ideas that align with our vision, please reach out to us at collab@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org
