SUMMARY:Cities in the World of Indian Stamps
DESCRIPTION:A stamp on the Ghats of Varanasi issued in 1983 to commemorate 
 the Fifth General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization in New Delhi.
  Courtesy of Vikas Kumar\n\nPlacing urban India under a philatelic lens\, 
 this talk argues that post-colonial India has been ambivalent about its ur
 ban spaces. The philatelic archive suggests that the government did not nu
 rture a vision for urban India. Within the postage stamps\, cities feature
  as standalone iconic colonial and pre-colonial monuments and not as entit
 ies with a cultural and political life of their own. So nation-building th
 rough establishing ethnic iconographies for cities is the guiding concern 
 seen in stamps. An appreciation of the specific virtues of work and life i
 n cities is hard to find. The talk concludes with a discussion on the impl
 ications of this stance toward cities reflected in the philatelic archive.
 \n\nJoin us for this illustrated talk by Vikas Kumar\, as he delves into t
 he idea of postcolonial cities of India through a philatelic lens.\n\nThis
  event has been curated under Thinking Cities\, MAP’s public programming
  theme for the quarter. Through this theme\, we explore and reimagine citi
 es through the lenses of space\, identity\, history\, memory and more.
