(particularly the 18th and 19th century houses of the zamindars of North Kolkata, a caste of landowners made rich by the Company) tells the story of past and present, of the evolution from colony to independence and beyond. The houses were built by Indians for Indians (rather than by the British for the British) and they follow their own unique architectural conventions that reflect both domestic customs and religious use. The households I photographed consist of unusual amalgams of internationally derived architectural styles overlaid by details of family life and personal history seen in the objects that adorn the rooms. These spaces speak to the vicissitudes of economic life and of time, to incipient globalization, to the blending of history with contemporary living, to family and changing traditions, and to the long and complex material and political relationship between India and the west.”</em></p> <p>Photography from ‘<em>The Home and the World’ </em>by <a href="http://www.lauramcphee.com/">Laura McPhee</a></p> </blockquote>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/48810360681http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/48810360681Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:48:10 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltg5vjSuT61qm6iuyo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://neurotica-.tumblr.com/post/47925168080/silk-smitha">neurotica-</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>silk smitha</p> </blockquote>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47925246310http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47925246310Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:12:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/30faf24551667f7cd24b25a717d526e3/tumblr_mkvsu7Chrf1s3yd5oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://michael-oshea.tumblr.com/post/47356304353/the-remains-of-an-8-foot-man-sculpture-kotte-sri">michael-oshea</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The remains of an 8 foot man sculpture, Kotte, Sri Lanka 2013.<br/> Fibreglass and iridescent (diamond cut) stickers.</p> <p>Once part of the 2007 <em>Fantasic Dream</em> installation by Amitha Penideniya at Colombo’s University of Visual and Performing Arts.<br/> The statue was originally suspended horizontally to give the illusion of flight.</p> </blockquote>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47925236792http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47925236792Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:12:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2ccc00393523f65a14909c7ddc00f6f/tumblr_mkovh8ntXp1ql7ujvo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shardeva.tumblr.com/post/47031950249">shardeva</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is one way to wrap a saree.</p> </blockquote>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832380579http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832380579Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:50:49 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d8a6a13926bb5c4848dba970a4e3acd8/tumblr_mkt0lihuLD1s3o2xro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lotusunfurled.tumblr.com/post/47225193680/gangaramaya-temple-front-by-adametrnal">lotusunfurled</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adametrnal/4602783257/" title="Gangaramaya Temple Front">Gangaramaya Temple Front</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adametrnal/">adametrnal</a></p> </blockquote>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832298250http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832298250Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:49:47 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7607904d63b1a0ae757f783e6978c37f/tumblr_mkx6egy8k11s3wrq4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832207790http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832207790Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:48:39 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d341dd2a83884979ba53b911f9372ea0/tumblr_mkvrsyGkh61rpif7oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://piouposimage.tumblr.com/post/47355563462/colors-by-kerri-lee-smith-on-flickr"> </a></p>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832133616http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832133616Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:47:44 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f83fc2ba6fe963055e7f5917d92ed9ef/tumblr_mkw2miAidk1r9e5wno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jetjetowly.tumblr.com/post/47365753765/sri-lanka"> </a></p>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832076440http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47832076440Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:47:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4946733126a89d9765f256d93ea3472b/tumblr_mkyichP1Ag1s3o2xro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47831941698http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47831941698Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:45:19 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d45bece52fd26d0ee830b908c3ea278c/tumblr_mkzpq7CUSS1s3yd5oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://michael-oshea.tumblr.com/post/47537686746/buddha-statue-kotte-colombo-sri-lanka-2013"> </a></p>http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47831902702http://southasianescape.tumblr.com/post/47831902702Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:44:49 -0400
