Description
It's 1648. Agra, India. Imperial guards keep watch as the final touches are put to the mighty Taj Mahal behind them. The emperor has decreed that no one shall turn to look at the building until it is complete. Now, as the building nears completion and the first light catches on the pure white domes behind them, the temptation to steal a glance at the most beautiful monument the world has ever seen grows stronger.
Guards at the Taj takes as its starting point an enduring legend and prompts contemporary audiences to revisit questions about art and privilege.
