International Gallerie was conceived by one person’s simple, single-minded belief in the rich, diversity of the world’s cultures and the powerful universality of ideas. In an increasingly cynical world, the idea captured the imagination of a core group of people comprising design and print professionals, photographers, writers… and advertisers.
Encouraged by this support, its founder-publisher and editor, Bina Sarkar Ellias, launched the first issue of International Gallerie in July 1997. That issue was an instant success – not in numbers, but in terms of its quality of readers. The inaugural issue and subsequent issues went on to win no less than 9 national and international awards for excellence.
What began as an arts and literary journal that focused on creative excellence worldwide, soon evolved into a socio-cultural forum on global issues –– stringing art, music, theatre, cinema, poetry and travel into a cohesive theme.
The launch of every issue is accompanied by theatre enactments and poetry reading, followed by a discussion pertinent to the issue. What distinguishes Gallerie is the way each issue connects India to the world and, in turn, the world to India. Each section often comprises of two features, each representing an Indian and an international subject or two respective viewpoints.
