Follows a city as it transforms into a bustling global metropolis after the liberalization of the Indian economy. Taking the once idyllic ‘garden city’ of Bangalore as its point of departure, the book explores how artists across India and beyond foreground neoliberalism as a ‘structure of feeling’ permeating aesthetics, selfhood, and everyday life.
