The Local and the Global
Now available in India. Forthcoming in the rest of the world in 2025.
What is the fate of multiculturalism in a globalized world?
When did art stop being subservient to the dictates of the calendar?

In The Local and the Global and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan (1924–2016), one of India’s most respected artist-writers, answers these questions with his trademark candour, lucidity and wisdom.
