About this experience
The afternoon starts in a quiet ground-floor room in New Delhi, with tea poured and a long table already covered in loose prints. Singh opens with the working question behind Museum Bhavan: what changes when photographs are given a structure that folds, travels and can be re-hung by whoever owns it. Guests then work with a set of small prints, laying out, cutting and re-sequencing until an order holds. Each guest assembles one folding museum from wooden panels and hinges, choosing the edit and the sequence, while Singh circulates and argues for and against particular pairings. The finished structures are hung along one wall, and the group walks the line together, talking through what each sequence claims and what it leaves out. Tea and shared reading close the session.
