Report by Santanu Ganguly: A cozy leisure space called the ‘balcão,’ which literally means a balcony is a uniquely Goan. The Balcao residue an age gone by when there was special bond between neighbors and social relations were based on love, warmth and lots of affection. Balcao - the exhibition represents Portuguese influence on Goan culture. Dhoomimal Gallery gives Delhietes a window to feel Goan culture through the works by Goan artistes and selective works by F.N. Souza curated by Subodh Kerkar. The Balcao, being an essential feature of Goan Homes, the artistes have put in all their creativity to make Goan History alive in Delhi through their paintings & sculptures.
Visually attractive and aesthetically engaging, Subodh's own works surprise, enlighten, and educate about the Goan religion, politics, attires and much more.
