Apollo Magazine - Who counted in the British Empire, and what are the consequences of such hierarchies today? ‘Paper Cuts’ at the Peltz Gallery at Birkbeck, University of London, asks these questions by contrasting a colonial visual archive with contemporary artistic interventions. Subtitled ‘Art, Bureaucracy, and Silenced Histories in Colonial India’, the exhibition, curated by Surya Bowyer, displays drawings and watercolours collected by the Scottish engineer George Turnbull, who, from 1851 onwards, was the man responsible for building India’s first long-distance railway, from Calcutta to Benares.

Paper Cuts - Art, Bureaucracy, and Silenced Histories in Colonial India
​
Who gets remembered, and who forgotten? This exhibition examines a collection of works on paper made by British colonialists in nineteenth-century India. Seen in public for the first time, the collection is placed into dialogue with contemporary artworks by Ravista Mehra and Divya Sharma. PAPER CUTS critically reflects on the silencing effect of the colonial archive — and points toward a more equitable future.
