The student-mentor relationship rewarding as it is, is even momentous when it turns into an everlasting friendship. On this week’s episode, we invited our artist Desmond Lazaro to speak with one of his gurus and guides, Gulammohammed Sheikh as they speak about when they first met at the MSU university, Baroda in the 90s to the friendship they share today. Through the episode, the pair give us a glimpse into their lives as Sheikh speaks about his art practice and connecting to his students through Art History, as well as the commonalties he shares with Lazaro as the pair chat about life in Baroda, Pichwai Painting, Dunhuang and the Cosmos embellished by memories shared through their over three decade long relationship.
