Ranjan Kaul reviews "Portraits in Time" held recently at Bikaner House, New Delhi. Curated by Sonali Batra, the chronically arranged portraits in the show ranged from the formal restraint of aristocratic portraiture to the introspective exploration of identity. What the show clearly brought to the fore is the relevance of portraiture in today's age.

Ranjan Kaul writes on the amazing use of tattoos and other symbols by pro-democracy activists as part of their ongoing pro-democracy resistance and civil disobedience movement in Myanmar. The article also gives a brief account of the Spring Revolution in February 2021 following the military coup and the arrest of the State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi.

Ranjan Kaul interviews multidisciplinary artist Suman Kabiraj, whose socially engaged art practice explores labour, urbanization, and migration.
