Exhibitions, Beyond Stereotype

Incidentally, her 'Goa work' formed a major part at a solo show put up in the Frith Street Gallery in London recent years. "I think the Goa work will always be part of any major show I have," Singh argued. "Mostly people cannot believe this is Goa. (There are) no beaches, no colour, just little details, as though hints of something, not quite telling the whole story. So people get intrigued," commented Singh.

She suggests that someone could in fact start 'architectural tours' in a Goa which is itself struggling to find ways to emerge from its current image of being a low-budget sand-and-surf tourist destination, to one which could claim its historical legacy as a meeting place for East and West, both in the past and possibly in the present.
