Bringing together a diverse roster of artists across mediums, generations and geographies – including A. Ramachandran, Anju Dodiya, Astha Butail, Atul Dodiya, Avinash Chandra, Balkrishna Doshi, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Biraaj Dodiya, Gigi Scaria, Gurminder Sikand, Himali Singh Soin, Jai Chuhan, Jagannath Panda, Joya Mukerjee Logue, Leela Mukherjee, Nalini Malani, N.S. Harsha, Rina Banerjee, Shailesh B.R., Shilpa Gupta, Shrimanti Saha, Smitha M. Babu, Sudhir Patwardhan, and Sunil Gupta – the presentation considers contemporary art from South Asia and its diaspora as a site where histories, memories, identities and systems of power are continually renegotiated. Moving between the intimate and the collective, the familial and the political, the works examine how individual lives are shaped by broader structures of identity, ecology, gender and sociopolitical hierarchies. Rather than proposing a singular account of South Asia, the presentation brings diverse artistic registers from the region into dialogue, foregrounding the concurrences that define its plural realities.
