Unsung heroes of Austria & India

Delhi Tourism along with Austrian Cultural Forum of the Austrian Embassy, New Delhi has embarked upon to present an unusual touring exhibition which attempts to project the life stories of important Austrian and Indian women of the past 200 years. "Women have far too often been forgotten, overlooked and marginalised irrespective of a period, geographical borders, and cultures. But yet their lives and their works have been found quite exemplary and a source of growth, development, expansion, and improvement of the society in general," the Delhi Tourism said in a statement.

Projecting these unsung women champions from Austria and India together in full knowledge of inevitable gaps, the exhibition, "Inspiring Women Austria-India" (Calliope Austria) representing almost the same period, was inaugurated in the Capital on August 25 jointly by Brigitte Oeppinger-Walchshofer, Ambassador of Austria and Varsha Joshi, Secretary (Tourism), Government of Delhi.

In order to reach out to the public at large, this exhibition has been envisaged to be kept away from the conventional walled galleries and venues and to showcase the same in public spaces. The Exhibition will be on view on the following dates and Venues at:

August 28 and August 29 at Dilli Haat, Pitampura

August 30 and August 31 at Dilli Haat, Janakpuri

September 1 and September 2 at Garden of Five Senses

This touring exhibition will also be exhibited outside Delhi, in other states of India.
