100 Watts Design Studio

Very proud to share our latest project in Kolkata ~ An experiential museum on the city, housed in a 179 year old heritage building, Metcalfe Hall, under the Archaeological Survey of India.

It was an intense 6 month long process involving Narrative Planning, Content Curation, Exhibition Design, Naming, Branding, Graphic Design & Supervision of Fabrication.

Do visit Metcalfe Hall_Ami Kolkata and tell us what you think!

An introduction to the exhibition that came straight from our hearts....

Kolkata is not just a city; it is an enigma that resonates with people and touches them in ways that may be difficult to articulate. Most responses involve words like love, nostalgia, warmth, charm, character...but none can pin down exactly why Kolkata touches the heart (or a nerve!).

The exhibition, ‘Ami Kolkata’, is an experience of Kolkata, albeit just a glimpse.

It explores the tangible and intangible cultures that make Kolkata what it is. A city with its own sense of time and pace; one that can make you time-travel in a fleeting moment. A repository of memories. A vibrant canvas of cultural diversity and secular harmony, steadfastly painted over time. An incubator of creativity and pioneering thought. A layered composite of history, beliefs, cultures, thought and spirit. A sense of belonging that stays with you no matter how far you go.

Kolkata is a confluence of cultures and identities. The city absorbs everyone into its fold…a city of its people. As you spend time here, the city becomes you and you become the city.

Ami Kolkata ~ I am Kolkata. As are you.
