The music of the Gurdwara Sikh temple. Produced by Margaret Birley and Rolf Kilius. • Utsavam - Music from India explored the cultural, musical and linguistic diversity of a land that is home to a sixth of the world’s population. • Sound, film footage, musical instruments and objects including a spectacular Kathakali dance costume took visitors on a journey to village India, where music traditions are under threat at a time of rapid change in the subcontinent. • The exhibition offered encounters with the temple musicians of rural Kerala, instrument makers of the Punjab, musician-farmers of the Sora groups of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh, fishing communities in Assam and artisans from the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh on the border with China. Visitors were also invited to marvel at stunning classical and traditional instruments from across the country. • Utsavam - Music from India was the culmination of five years of research in India by Horniman curators in collaboration with the British Library Sound Archive. https://www.horniman.ac.uk/index.php/... • The featured musicians were photographed during a project to document disappearing music and instruments in India, at a time of rapid change, between 2000 and 2007. The ‘Traditional Music in India’ project was run by the British Library Sound Archive and the Horniman. It aimed to reflect aspects of the cultural and musical diversity of India. • Rolf co-curated the exhibitions Utsavam – Music from India at the Horniman, London (February - November 2008), Indian Strings and Dances at the Museum of Croydon (April – August 2009), and provided text and music for the online sound project of the British Library Sound Archive, Music from India (from April 2009). • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • https://www.horniman.ac.uk • The Horniman Museum and Gardens is an inspiring, surprising, family-friendly, free attraction in South London’s Forest Hill. We’ve been open since Victorian times, when Frederick John Horniman first opened his house and extraordinary collection of objects to visitors. Since then, our collection has grown tenfold and includes internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, as well as an acclaimed aquarium, Butterfly House and natural history collection. • Unusually for such an important museum, you can see our collection up-close and face-to-face. You can even pick up, try on and play with some of our objects. • Find out what's on and pay us a visit: https://www.horniman.ac.uk/visit/cale... • Get involved as a member or benefactor: https://www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involved • • Don't forget to like and share!
