Indian woman's videos on Dutch traditions give desis 'second-hand cultural shock'
An Indian woman living in the Netherlands has left the internet in splits after sharing her hilarious take on everyday cultural differences that she believes could 'give an Indian a heart attack.' Rashi Agarwal frequently posts about her life in the Netherlands.(Instagram/ Rashi Agarwal, who frequently posts about her life abroad, highlighted how many of the traditions and social norms Indians take for granted are turned completely upside down in Dutch culture. Her tongue-in-cheek observations have struck a chord with viewers, sparking a mix of laughter, disbelief, and cultural shock. In one of her popular videos, Agarwal explained that birthdays in the workplace work very differently in the Netherlands compared to India. Instead of being surprised with a cake by colleagues, the responsibility actually falls on the birthday person. "PSA- No one is buying you a cake on your birthday in Netherlands and if you work at an office, better take a cake on your birthday for everyone," she wrote. Another video focused on Dutch birthday parties, which she revealed can be a letdown for Indians accustomed to overflowing food and hospitality. Instead of being served a feast, guests are expected to eat dinner beforehand. "What do you mean, there is no food at a Dutch party? In India, you'll be going home with the leftovers," Agarwal quipped in her caption. While Agarwal's posts are humorous in tone, they also highlight the striking cultural contrasts that can surprise Indians moving abroad. And if her comments section is anything to go by, she's not the only one trying to wrap her head around the Dutch way of life. "As a Dutch-born and raised sesi, I still can't fathom this… my mom and my family always have snacks and dinner," one viewer confessed. Another commented that her videos give her "second-hand cultural shock." A third user chimed in with practical advice: "Skip such events. I think an email wish will be sufficient for such 'friends'."

Why Bengaluru's Museum of Art & Photography is leaning into tech and the tactile
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a new-age museum in our smartphone era must create perfect selfie spots. Over the past decade, founders, architects, exhibition designers, curators and artists have had to also imagine their works and spaces to double up as Instagram backdrops. At Bengaluru's Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), however, this isn't at their 'core of building a museum-going culture', says Abhishek Poddar, the founder of this museum. 'At MAP, these interactive elements, whether analogue or digital, are always intentional choices, not add-ons.' Accommodating this buzzing social media landscape isn't kowtowing; museums need footfalls too. It is MAP's mode of engaging with these amorphous, captive channels of communication and building community that marks them out. 'It's not something that we prioritise from the very start of conceptualising an exhibition, but it is also something that we've come to consider in the process of executing it. It's the way the world works, and museums and their shows can't be entirely safe from that,' explains Arnika Ahldag, director of exhibitions and curation at MAP. 'But it's good when it does happen.' She points to the example of The Writing Table installation at the recently-opened exhibition titled Shape of a Thought: Letters from Ram Kumar. This wooden desk and chair arrangement is stacked with the short-fiction collections and other writings by the artist, loose sheafs of blank paper, pens and pencils. Visitors can draw inspiration from the artist's preoccupations and write a letter to themselves, loved ones, strangers or even the city. Once done, they can clip it to the twine strung above the desk like festive buntings. 'The initial idea was to find a way for visitors to connect with the physical act of letter-writing. The manner in which picking up a pen and writing on paper causes one to structure one's thoughts differently than sending out a text message,' Ahldag says, taking us through the thinking process behind building an exhibition. 'But this is the element from Shape of a Thought that has become the most shared on social media; and that's good with us because it has become yet another way for people to experience, connect and feel Ram Kumar's practice.' The modernist writer-painter's letters can be experienced through multiple formats — facsimile, audio, Indian Sign Language, translations, transcripts, Braille and in regional languages through guided walks. These different layers that invite interaction 'gives a larger group of people the opportunity to get to know his works and thoughts; it allows for them to respond through the medium they're most comfortable in', says Poddar. 'If they like big screens, we have digitally-stored exhibitions, if they prefer games, we have games. The idea is to simply start them on the journey to embracing and appreciating art.' Breaking down the abstract Since opening in 2023, MAP and its teams have understood that audiences expect more than frames of artwork hung on a wall and being declared as great art. Instead, MAP has been able to channel our obsession with smartphones while also accounting for our desires to switch off and be tactile in our environments. 'The experience of something has become more and more important,' shares Ahldag. For instance, abstract art is commonly perceived as something that's intimidating. 'It's got a reputation of being only for those in-the-know or seasoned connoisseurs.' In order to address this notion, their exhibitions are put together to 'build a relationship between the artist and the audience', she explains. In the Ram Kumar exhibit, there are prompts in the form of questions on brown text panels next to each of the abstract paintings that might coax different entry-points into the visual for the viewer. This is an extension of their Family Label activity that allows visitors to look at the artworks and create a label on what they think artwork means, or what they saw and felt. Ahldag has found that when these kinds of invitational interventions are 'created in connection with an exhibition, people seem to be more interested'. While the inclusion of tactile art work in MAP exhibitions is an accessibility feature, an integral tenet of MAP's outreach to have people across abilities gain access to art, 'they've also become a way for the general public to experience art with different senses'. And though digital experiences at the museum are cutting-edge, Ahldag and her exhibitions team have found 'that older ideas like a reading station or an activity desk have worked well' to build MAP's public. 'Over the opening weekend, The Writing Table turned out to be a hit with visitors and we've already collected handwritten letters of gratitude, dedications and love the size of a thick book,' she tells me. For us [at the museum], it's sweet that we've become a third space in the city for visitors to try out a different pace, slow down a little bit, spend time on an activity that isn't immediately converted into a product — these are the intangibles we want to be able to share with our visitors,' she concludes. MAP @ the KIA A customised version of MAP's technological interventions now exists at Terminal 2 of Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport, an upgrade from the earlier museum shop. At the outposts in the Domestic and International terminals, they have their Gallery on Demand, where travellers can browse the works of Indian artists such as Jamini Roy, Jyoti Bhatt and Suresh Punjabi or search through the museum's entire digitised collection and even email them to one's self or friends. There are puzzles created using artworks to pass the time. Scan a QR code to digitally light a lamp: choose a lamp from different genres of arts and artists and type out your name to ignite the flame. At the International Terminal, those transiting can also enjoy an exhibition titled Bhuri Bai: My Life as an Artist. It traces the practice of the Padma Shri award-winning Bhil painter, muralist, and illustrator. It starts from the early 1980s to her more recent large-scale commissioned works. Scan another QR code, and you'll be able to access an audio guide that aims to enhance your experience of these vibrant artworks. 'We want people to experience Indian art and the seed for that can be planted even when they are using screens. It's been an attempt to cultivate the belief that our history and culture aren't boring things inside museums, but an exciting shared inheritance,' Poddar states. Shape of a Thought in on till October 26. The writer and poet is based in Bengaluru.
