When the sun rises over the bustling city of Kolkata, a silent symphony begins to unfold within the walls of Emami Art Gallery. "Dawn to Dusk: A Silent Symphony," an evocative solo exhibition by artist Ujjal Dey, masterfully unravels the intricate intersections of matriarchal labor. Through a compelling blend of textile artistry and culinary symbolism, Dey's work shines a light on the often-overlooked contributions of women in vernacular and quotidian spaces. Here, fabric becomes a narrative medium that speaks volumes about heritage, culture, and the unyielding spirit of matriarchal figures who weave resilience into the very fabric of daily life. As you step into the gallery, you're enveloped by an array of artistic masterpieces – from smaller, delicate textile panels to grandiose hanging pieces that command attention. These works are reminiscent of traditional hand-painted, printed, and dyed calicoes, each bearing a story deeply rooted in regional soil and cultural specificity. The visual dialogue created by Dey's utilization of culinary tools as both symbolic motifs and technical mediums becomes strikingly apparent. This exhibition explores intersections of matriarchal labour through various lenses, fostering a profound appreciation for the skill and dedication often relegated to the background. With pigments extracted from the South-Asian bio-network, Dey infuses ecological consciousness into his expressionist approach, making each piece not only a visual feast but also a commentary on sustainability and tradition. Richa Agarwal, CEO of Emami Art, remarked that Dey's textiles present three distinctive ways to confront some of the troubled truths of our contemporary world, making this exhibition a must-see for students, critics, and art enthusiasts alike. By the time dusk approaches, visitors leave with a newfound reverence for the silent symphony of matriarchal labor that reverberates from dawn to dusk, both in the gallery and beyond.

Lyrics: CPC crew running, bring your knuckles to brawl Down at British & Dominion, getting traditional Paint it up, spike it out, the gang is ready tonight Take the 42 north past Electric to ride For few of us though, it could never come dead It's the noise noise noise that kept it so close But the words were spoken "it's the last episode "When the buses stopped running and the flask led to riot Held our head past the shoulders to the new music reich For few of us though, it could never come dead But the music and nostalgia burnt a hole in our heads Our heads, heads Staggering down memories lane Deranged, grasping onto a past refrain Staggering down dead memories slain Deranged, holding onto a faded champagne Gotta go for the glory or give up and fail I've been stagnant sitting here A waiting hands open tale If you see me on the corner, begging, don't pay my bail I'm a bit more than nothing and your charity's stale I've been trying now for years fighting hand tooth and nail But the sad truth is the poor get poorer and fail Have I failed? Staggering down memories lane Deranged, grasping onto a past refrain Staggering down dead memories slain Deranged, holding onto a faded champagne It's the noise noise noise that kept it so close But the words were spoken "it's the last episode" When the buses stopped running and the flask led to riot Held our head past the shoulders to the new music reich For few of us though, it could never come dead For few of us though, it could never come dead Staggering down dead memories slain Deranged, grasping onto a past refrain Staggering down dead memories slain Deranged, staggering Staggering down memories lane Deranged, holding onto a past refrain Staggering down dead memories slain Deranged, holding onto a faded champagne
