FROM MADRAS TO BANGALORE
Running at the same time as the Sikh exhibition, this small exhibition of picture postcards from the Indian cities of Madras (Chennai) and Bangalore (Bengalaru) from 1900 through the 1930s explores the lives and development of these two most important colonial southern cities in British Colonial India. In the early decades of the 20th century, postcards were at the height of their popularity and were an innovative and affordable form of communicating. It has been estimated that in Britain alone approximately six billion postcards passed through the British postal system between 1902 and 1910.Te postcards are not so much a ‘window into the past’, but a set of discursive coordinates that articulate the social and cultural geography of the city and its inhabitants at that time, for a global, and predominatly European, audience. • Brunei Gallery, SOAS, to 23 September, London,

TUHURATANGA Voyage of Discovery
Tese 20 contemporary portraits are a response to the historical context and interpretation of images, objects and text currently on display in James Cook: Te Voyages at the British Library (closed 28 August) and document people of Te- Moananui-a-Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean) living in the United Kingdom today, from Aotearoa New Zealand, Cook Islands, Niue, Wallis and Futuna, Samoa, Fiji, Tokelau, Tahiti, Marquesas and Hawai’i. Te New Zealand Maori photographer Crystal Te Moananui-Squares said of the experience, ‘Tis project has given me the opportunity to spend time connecting with many Pacific families, weaving stories together and strengthening ties between their communities and each other. Tey are a legacy of James Cook’s first contact, affected by empire and colonisation. Today they continue to build connection through the reawakening of shared cultural histories and identity’. • Tuhuratanga, until 23 September, the British Library, London,
