We are delighted to announce that Rebecca Brown’s forthcoming book, Modernism in Relation: KCS Paniker’s Written Pictures (Getty), has been awarded two prestigious publication grants: the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center Publication Grant from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Millard Meiss Publication Grant from the College Art Association.

In addition to this news, Brown’s co-edited volume, Documenting Industry: Photography, Aesthetics, and Labor in India, has just been published. This interdisciplinary collection explores the intersections of visual culture and industrial labor in India, offering new insights into photographic practice and aesthetic theory.

Brown also contributed to Madhvi Parekh: Remembered Tales, a catalog accompanying the recent exhibition at DAG in Delhi. Her essay and two edited interviews explore Parekh’s narrative-driven visual language and her engagement with memory and folklore.
