Ep. 79: A sensual and independent exploration of South Asian art history with critic and perfumer Bharti Lalwani

Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, then living in London, Singapore and now India, my guest Bharti Lalwani believes her outsider status is key to ‘speaking truth to power’ - the job of an art critic. Now experimenting in art criticism through perfumery, Bharti brought Mughal and Rajput paintings to life through a study of their gardens, flowers, and scents with her collaborator Nicolas Roth. Join me in this (long but) fascinating chat with a young independent art critic, writer, perfumer, and artist as she criss-crosses the globe, and the art and academic worlds!
