ILLUMINATING INDIA, Science Museum- WEB COPY

Illuminating India is a season of exhibitions and events that celebrates India’s contribution to science, technology and mathematics.

At its heart are two free major exhibitions: 5000 Years of Science and Innovation and Photography 1857–2017. Respectively, they present a kaleidoscopic history of scientific breakthroughs in India and a unique photographic survey of the country’s technological and cultural development. Illuminating India commemorated 70 years of Independence and was part of the British Council’s UK/India Year of Culture.

ILLUMINATING INDIA: 5000 YEARS OF SCIENCE AND INNOVATION

From some of the earliest cities to interplanetary exploration, Indian innovation in science, technology and mathematics has dramatically shaped the world we live in today.

5000 Years of Science and Innovation reveals how the Mughal emperors conserved nature in the 16th century, how 20th century mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan revolutionised mathematics, and how the Indian Space Research Organisation sent a camera to Mars for less than the cost of the film Gravity.

ILLUMINATING INDIA: PHOTOGRAPHY 1857–2017

This exhibition brings to light the previously overlooked Indian photographers who worked in parallel with their foreign counterparts from the 1850s onwards.

Pivoting around two key dates—1857, the year of the Mutiny and 1947, the year of Independence and Partition—it is an ambitious survey of the technological and artistic development of photography in India that examined the role the medium has played in charting the country’s modern history.

Among the images are works by Samuel Bourne, art photography pioneer Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and award-winning contemporary photographer Vasantha Yogananthan.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Whllst at the Science Museum I wrote social media copy for a mixture of paid social-media adverts and organic social media posts across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I used Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere to create short form content for these platforms, as well as writing scripts and briefing video production companies to create content like the Robots trailer which received over 52k views. Here is a small selection of my social media work at the Science Museum:
