Verve Weekend Guide

From a musical tribute to Alyque Padamsee to a Mumbai-centric menu to savour, Verve gives you the lowdown on the events that should be on your radar this weekend…

ART

iUndo, Mumbai

A solo show by emerging self-taught artist Ameya Joshi, iUndo presents works in photography and painting. Playing with light, colour, and shadows, Joshi creates simple and clean images that are abstract in nature. As artist Prabhakar Kolte says, the artist is a “a photographer who paints and a painter who photographs”.
iUndo is on display at Taj Art Gallery (Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Apollo Bandar, Colaba), Mumbai from November 29 to December 2.

Sounds From Nowhere, New Delhi

In 2013, Bangladesh’s Rana Plaza building collapsed, leading to 71 workers being buried by debris. Artist Mahbubur Rahman’s latest work, Sounds From Nowhere, that focuses on his  work in various media which includes painting, photography, sculpture as well as performances, presents a work that is a response to that horrific incident, among other works that comment on contemporary issues. A poignant show, Rahman’s latest exhibition showcases to the viewer glimpses of the current social structure of his homeland that is yearning for growth.
Sounds From Nowhere is on display at Bikaner House (Pandara Rd, Pandara Flats, India Gate), New Delhi from November 29 to December 8.

FOOD

Taste of Mumbai Tiffin, Mumbai 

We know Mumbai is a city of magic — from its people and locales to its food and its fanfare, everything is aspirational for migrants from all over the country. Oberoi’s Indian cuisine restaurant Ziya presents an ode to the city’s many food cultures with their new menu, Taste of Mumbai Tiffin, curated by Michelin-starred chef Vineet Bhatia. Featuring on the menu are tempting local delicacies like Koli shrimp fry of the fisher folk, Gujarati undhiyu paatra, mattar kachori made famous by the Marwaris, delectable Parsi dhandar, and even Goan Baath cake of the Christian settlers, for gourmands to savour. A platter of Mumbai’s melting pot indeed!
The Taste Of Mumbai Tiffin menu is currently on offer at Ziya (The Oberoi Mumbai, Nariman Point), Mumbai.
