“Drawing Room is pleased to announce a new work by Sarnath Banerjee, the third Annotations artist to create work for – and inspired by – Drawing Room’s Outset Study. Best known for his graphic novels and films that tell stories through a combination of free hand drawings and text, Banerjee has developed a new work which brings together Indian classical music and libraries.
The Many Half Lives of Vasundhara Rangarajan is an immersive installation consisting of sound and a suite of fifteen drawings.
