Kolkata, Mar 17 (NITN): Art lovers of Kolkata are in for a treat with Chander Haat presenting a multi-disciplinary art exhibition titled 'Life and Time: The Changing Landscape', with participation from artists around the world.

The exhibition will be held at the Academy of Fine Arts from March 22 to 28, 2017.

The exhibition is a commentary on life and the changes time has wrought on the socio-political-economic and environmental conditions, and in the process how it has eroded the system of values, ethics, concerns and honest endeavour.

There is a crisis, yet one must not lose faith in humanity, believe the organisers.

Pushpamala, Nirmal Malick, Probir Gupta, Pradip Das, Pintu Sikder, Raju Sarkar, Sujit Das, Smita Das, Shukla Sawant, Swastik Pal and  Tarun Dey from India; Bandu Manamperi  from Sri Lanka; Dhali Al Mamoon  and Imran Hossain Piplu from Bangladesh; Kirstine Skov Hansen from Denmark; Paul Holmes from UK; Sara Acremann from France; and Valentina Sekisova from Russia.
