He said that Prerna came from a similar visual change in his own office place. “Sri Ray was not just a filmmaker. He was a multidimensional man – he was an artist, a writer, and he composed music for his films. He was many things in one go. The road exhibition is thus an attempt to increase the understanding of the common people,” said Mr. Patheri.
The exhibition completed by April 30 was installed in ten days and includes a mural painting painted on electric box and backlit posters placed on lamp post. The project was supported by about 27 patrons, most of them were located in Kolkata.
“A lot of credit behind this goes to Sandeep Ray, who has a gathering to the councilor, and Ashim Basu, who facilitates the project. It was a collaborative attempt to change and reinstate the neighborhood. Now with the help of Mr. Basu, we are also portraying Alpona on the lamp positions in the area.”
He also hoped that this model of urban rejuvenation could be adopted in other parts of the country, especially in the neighborhood associated with iconic individuals.
Ashim Basu, a member of the Mayor-in-Course, a member of the Municipal Corporation and a member of the Ward 70, said that the effort is part of a comprehensive heritage initiative. “All the buildings in the region can be considered as the property of the heritage, and a concrete effort has been made to highlight it,” said Mr. Basu.
“Once, about four years ago, we tried to do something similar where we printed Mr. Ray’s sketch on the flex and put them on the kiosk. So when I got a proposal for this urban revival project, I was ready. We were overcome many obstacles. Hindu,
Both Mr. Patheri and Mr. Basu confirmed that further initiatives are going on. These include a continuous screening of the film clip from Ray’s Ovure, an electronic performance outside his residence and the establishment of a book shop in the field with Satyajit Ray and his father, Sukumar Ray.
