Market study

Noted artist Orijit Sen’s game-based installation of a popular Portuguese-era Friday market at Mapusa town in North Goa, where heaps of colourful spices often contest with stacks of fresh slaughtered pork for attention, will feature in the Serendipity Arts festival due to be held in Goa later this year. The recreation of the weekly market, invariably on the to-do list for most locals as well as foreign tourists for the variety of local condiments, baked products, meats, fish and other staple on offer, is essential, claims Sen, who has been working on the Mapping Mapusa Market project with Goa University since 2013. —IANS
