In addition to his avid historical interests, he has published on 19th century Indian Travel Albums, and most recently edited the forthcoming multi-author monograph, Anish Kapoor: Reverie and Rupture, to coincide with the artist’s largest North American survey debuting in Minneapolis in Spring 2026.

Prior to Mia, Pujan served as a consulting curator at the High Museum, worked as an independent curator and art advisor on several international projects, and lectured at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, where he earned his Postgraduate Diploma and MA in the History of Art and Architecture while cataloging at the British Museum. Pujan was educated at Middlebury College and is a proud native of Atlanta, GA.
