The curator of this museum, Dr. Unni Pulikkal S,  explains, “The idea of ‘Open Origins – Open Ends’ began as a quarterly show of photography in 2015. The first show in April 2015 was a body of photographs compiled from the open forum, Better Art Foundation (BAF)-PhotoMuse Club. I was baffled at the diversity of themes, but, to my amazement, there was a distinctive character to most of the significant images – the very eclecticism and disparateness that build a unique connection among them. It struck me that every image captured by these photographers seem to enjoy the freedom of being noncommittal to an imposed theme, all the while being bonded together by a mission to interpret different human conditions and experiences in their own way. All had open origins. All have open ends.”
