Dayanita Singh

Zakir Hussain: Learning to Learn | National Centre for Performing Arts, Mumbai, India

13 December 2025–3 February 2026

 
In a deeply personal exhibition, spanning over four decades of photographing the legendary tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, acclaimed artist Dayanita Singh explores mentorship, discipline and the act of lifelong learning. Drawing from her extensive archives – including unseen negatives, book dummies and museum structures – the project is both a memorial and a meditation on the creative exchange between teacher and student.
