Cinema Play House: An Exhibition

The India Center Foundation invites you to a photography exhibition exploring India’s aging single-screen theatres

 

About the Exhibition:
Between 2006 and 2009, Nandita Raman traveled throughout India creating Cinema Play House, a series of photographs depicting the country’s slowly disappearing single-screen theaters. Raman, whose family once owned one such theater in Varanasi, India, focuses her lens on the architectural anomalies that set these spaces apart from the larger multiplex theaters that currently threaten their existence.
