Chandigarh, May 5

Government Museum and Art Gallery is organising an exhibition tomorrow on the occasion of its 54th Foundation Day. The theme, “Lockdown Diaries”, of this exhibition is drawn from the experiences of artists during the extraordinary period of pandemic.

The idea of a serigraphy workshop in the pandemic times was conceptualised at Kaladham Artists’ Studios, Greater Noida, by a small group of artists comprising Tejinder Kanda, Prashant Kalita, Avinash Aggarwal and Dattatreya Apte in 2020. Around 80 artists emailed their images and helped to make this collective project a success.

The opening day will see an introduction by renowned visual artist Anita Dube followed by a lecture by eminent print-makers Dattatraya Apte and Ananda Moy Banerji at the gallery.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
