In 2019, I was selected as artist in residence for the annual Indo-European Art Residency Kolkata by the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan. I wrote the first draft of Kolkata Noir at 77 Sarat Bose Road in Ballygunge.
I’m deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to explore and reflect on Kolkata for two months, a tough, fascinating, complicated, often contradictory city with a huge personality, wonderful people, incredible architecture and public spaces and a vibrant art scene.
