India ki Udaan, an interactive virtual exhibition on Google Arts & Culture (GA&C) app to commemorate India’s 75th Independence Day, uses archival footage from history and accentuates them with vibrant illustrations to arrive at snackible forms of storytelling. You can browse the exhibition that dropped on GA&C on August 5 to view photo essays from the freedom movement, take a closer look at the green and white revolutions, read about men and women who have helped shape the nation in different spheres, from science to sports.

Amit Sood, director GA&C, informs that further chapters will be added to this exhibition throughout the year: “The second edition should be out in two to three months. We are working with museums and archival foundations to continue sourcing relevant information. India at 75 cannot be a one-time, flash-in-the-pan exhibition.”
