Pehchaan (meaning ‘Identity’ in Hindi and Urdu) is an exciting collaborative project at Tramway which showcases a new collection of North Indian art commissioned for Glasgow Museums.
The collection features folk art, textiles and contemporary works alongside material from Glasgow Museums original collection. Objects are displayed within an immersive and vibrant environment, commissioned by Tramway and conceived by local designer and India Street participant Gabriella Marcella.
Utilizing the gallery as an accessible, interactive public space, the exhibition is animated continuously by a range of workshops, events, discussions and drop-in activities.
This new collection has been acquired through the Art Fund’s RENEW programme with the support of the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
