EDITORS COMMENTS
When East meets West. . . depicting a scene from a famous Indian legend" captures the essence of this photo print. In this distinguished artwork, we witness the convergence of cultures as renowned artist Prof Pammi Lall and Vayu Naidu, from Leeds University's Workshop Theatre, come together at the Easthorpe Gallery in Mirfield. Accompanied by pupils from Roberttown Junior and Infant School, they embark on an artistic journey that transcends boundaries. Prof. Lall, hailing from Benares Hindu University in India where he serves as dean of the faculty of fine art, graces Kirklees education department as their esteemed artist in residence for the month. At the heart of his work lies a picture that encapsulates a rare moment of tranquillity experienced by revered figures in the Ramayana—an ancient Hindu epic. As Prof. Lall meticulously brings his vision to life on canvas, Vayu Naidu takes center stage to enchant school groups with her enthralling storytelling skills inspired by the Ramayana. The fusion between visual artistry and oral tradition creates an immersive experience for all involved. This snapshot frozen in time transports us back to June 8th, 1988—a testament to how art can bridge geographical distances and connect diverse communities through shared narratives and traditions. It is a celebration not only of creativity but also cultural exchange—where customs intertwine harmoniously with curiosity and learning. Preserved within this photograph are memories that evoke nostalgia for "all our yesterdays". It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries—it is universal and timeless—continuously weaving threads between past, present, and future generations.
