Description: On the occasion of International Museum Day 2023,the Activity Club of Victoria Memorial Hall took an initiative and hosted a workshop called 'Curators of Tomorrow' for students of classes IX to XII. The workshop ran between May 13 and 18, where participants worked tirelessly and put together the exhibition titled Time Locked: The Changing Shades of Rural India at the Calcutta Gallery of Victoria Memorial Hall. Dr Paula Sengupta, head of department, graphics- printmaking, Rabindra Bharati University inaugurated the exhibition on May 18th.14 students from various schools took part in the workshop. Our aim was to make viewers understand art and not just view it. Usually workshops talk about art and we draw and paint but this was something new. We set up our own exhibition and it was fun doing that ,with the team. We selected a theme and on the basis of that, day to night or night to day we positioned the artwork. How people spend their day doing different chores is what the idea was. The workshop was very interesting. It helped me to learn a lot of new things. During the workshop we learnt different aspects of curation, cataloging images and more. I would look forward to such kind of workshop again. Uzma Akhtar 9(1)
