My first Solo exhibition ended earlier tonight. This whole week has been exhilirating. The Opening on the 29th was very well received. I was touched by the speech made by Radha Chakravarty, Shahid Kabir, Baby Maudud and my husband (on my behalf). Each in their own way went a long way in making the event special and one that I will never forget. Inspite of being averse to public speaking I managed to get up and string a few words together. Gallery Chitrak handled the event extremely well. I was touched that so many of my friends made it to the event.
One nice thing about having a PR company whilst at Apple was the fact that you would regularly get clippings coverage in the media especially after an event. This list is based on feedback and some that i’ve seen so far…
