Event Description : Tasveer is delighted to present an exhibition of vintage photographs ‘Subjects & Spaces, Women in Indian  Photography’, at design concept store Moonriver, New Delhi. This rare exhibition showcases the portrayal  of women in Indian photography from the 1850s to the 1950s and presents a unique selection of images from the archives of the Tasveer Foundation, including studio portraits, film stills, post cards, cabinet cards and lobby cards. These various photographic mediums take us on a journey from colonial studies of Indian women in the 19th century, to private studio portraits from the early 20th century, and then to iconic and glamorous photographs of Bollywood actresses from the 40s and 50s. The exhibition therefore offers a unique insight into the social and cultural milieu of one of the most renowned periods of Indian history, whilst.investigating the function of the photographic medium during this time
