Sinopse

Kolkata Heritage explores the rich and complex history of Kolkata, highlighting its pivotal role in shaping India’s cultural identity and independence movement. The book examines how Kolkata, once a collection of villages, transformed into the second city of the British Empire, becoming a vibrant hub of art, literature, and political activism. It delves into the city's unique blend of colonial influence and indigenous resilience, showcasing how this fusion forged a distinct cultural identity that significantly impacted India’s national consciousness. Kolkata's streets were not just avenues of commerce but also the stage for a nation's awakening.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing Kolkata's context before exploring Colonial Kolkata's architecture and power dynamics, the flourishing of Bengali literature and art during the renaissance, and Kolkata's crucial involvement in the independence movement. Drawing from diverse sources, including archival documents and architectural surveys, the book reveals intriguing insights, such as how the city nurtured both collaborators and revolutionaries during British rule. It further connects Kolkata's heritage to broader fields like postcolonial studies and urban planning, emphasizing the practical implications for heritage preservation. The Victoria Memorial serves as a focal point, symbolizing both colonial grandeur and the evolving Indian identity.

Adventure awaits in this new visual odyssey from Accidentally Wes Anderson, taking readers on stunning trips to every continent and sharing oddly moving human tales along the way. For lovers of travel, design, and exploration, AWA presents a brand-new collection of real-world places that seem plucked from the films of Wes Anderson, and the stories that bring each location to life. You’ll venture to Antarctica through the treacherous Drake Passage, make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where platypuses outnumber people), discover the bridge in Wisconsin that went to nowhere, and drop into the most peculiar umbrella shop in London. But adventure means nothing without someone to tell the tale.    You’ll meet the father of American skydiving, who created the officially-sanctioned center of Earth—a California town with a population of two. You’ll visit the “post office at the end of the world”—and meet its mustachioed letter carrier, who runs an anarchist island nation in his free time. And you’ll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are prohibited, humans may not be buried, and doomsday vaults hold all we need to survive an apocalypse—including the secret recipe for the Oreo cookie.    Authorized by the legendary filmmaker himself, Accidentally Wes Anderson Adventures reminds us that the world is ours to explore.

Through essays that delve into history and practice, and case studies that demonstrate practical strategies, Design Against Racism explores how designers of all disciplines can address, through their work, the legacies of racism and oppression. 
  
Design profoundly influences culture. The heart of this book is its powerful blend of essays on design history, case studies, and discussions of practical methods to approach design work, adapted from the restorative justice movement. It explores how design as a professional practice and academic discipline directly affects historically excluded communities, offering frameworks and examples that foster collective improvement.

• Afrofuturism as a Design Strategy  
• Whose Knowledge Is It? Reclaiming Histories, Narratives, and the Plurality of Knowledge

This is a critique of design and a practical handbook that will teach designers and educators how a restorative justice approach can transform their design practice to counteract and fight racism. 
  
TIMELY AND ESSENTIAL TOPICS: Thought-provoking essays from leaders in design diversity offer an anti-racist approach to design practice based in an understanding of history, a focus on community building, and a commitment to inclusion.

The artistic creations made between about the 1860s and the 1970s are considered modern art. According to history, a Frenchman named Edouard Manet witnessed modern art in the 18th century. However, it was thought that the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had begun modern painting before the Frenchman, given the works they produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries lacked the typical academic art forms. Following the Pre-Raphaelites, various changes and movements occurred in the field of art.
