Description

Victoria Lautman's unorthodox background, lack of journalistic training and a surplus of passion and knowledge about the contemporary art world has made her one of the most interesting art correspondents of our time. Lautman's latest "obsession" is exploring ancient Indian stepwells--used mainly for storing water, but also for providing a break from the heat and even for spiritual purposes. Lautman is educating the public on why stepwells are disappearing or turning into decrepit remains in hopes of garnering enough interest to start a preservation process. Lautman will share photos and discuss the history and future of these stepwells.
