“Sadak”, the poetry of Indian streets on display in the Marais

Until January 19, 2025, the gallery DEEYA Paris present " Sadak ”, a photography exhibition by Aradhana Seth capturing the ephemeral art of hand-painted signs on Indian streets.

Based in Goa, Aradhana Seth has been documenting these colorful works that transform the Indian urban landscape into an open-air museum since the 90s. Her photographs, selected from a unique personal archive, reveal a world in the process of disappearing, swept away by galloping modernization.

With Sadak, the Indian filmmaker, artist, set designer and photographer displays her keen eye for detail, revealing the country's historical and economic changes through these visual expressions of everyday life. This collection of photographic archives, published by Humboldt Books, is a valuable record of Indian popular culture and its evolution over the years.
