While in Rome, during her residency at the American Academy in Rome last year, Professor Preeti Chopra worked on a project entitled Historic Preservation, British Monuments, and the Legacy of Ancient Rome in Modern India. Her work took the shape of an art installation entitled “A Room of Cultural Encounters ̶ The Preeti Chopra Marble Collection,” exhibited in the AAR Summer Open Studios on 8 June 2023 during Trustees’ Week. A short description and video of the event can be seen at https://www.aarome.org/events/summer-open-studios-2023.
