Upcoming Events

This exhibition explores the subtle cultural interplay between two artists, Shana Sood and Yolanda Peña Mazzoni, who grew up in completely different parts of the world yet connect through a series of realist paintings that reflect the distances and resonances between their worlds. Positioned between continents, generations, and personal histories, this show delves into the experiences of migration, memory, identity, and womanhood through the distinct lenses of the Indian and Cuban diasporas. The exhibition serves as a visual barometer, mapping both the contrasts and overlaps in values, belief systems, and aesthetic traditions. Sood, of Indian origin, and Mazzoni, whose heritage traces back to Cuba and Spain - their works contemplate the layered nature of cultural belonging and the way women, particularly artists, navigate these complex terrains. The curatorial intent is to tease out these cultural complexities through a juxtaposition of their work. This exhibition is curated by Georgina Maddox.

Presented by Nirmal Bhartia School Voice of Art 2026 is a practice-based research challenge that uniquely attempts to combine student enquiry of social, cultural and environmental issues affecting our lives with original expression using the methods and techniques of new and traditional visual arts media. The founding motivation behind the challenge is to encourage ‘different ways of seeing ’that enable young adults to go beyond the dominant discourse and approach its subtleties and subjectivities with greater sensitivity. Recognising the inherent capacity of the arts to evoke emotional reactions and catalyze change without necessarily needing the finality or definitiveness of a conclusion or ‘solution’, the initiative roots itself in arts-based pedagogies and attempts to offer students a new and hitherto unexplored space to speak their voice. By introducing children to the inherent freedom, diversity and plurality of arts-based approaches and actively mentoring them as they attempt to develop their very own original and fresh lenses or ‘ways of seeing’, it may enable them to become consciously engaged, imaginative and sensitive co-creators and makers of their worlds, rather than just being passive consumers and recipients of the dominant sights, sounds and debates that surround them.

Presented by Gallery Dotwalk this solo exhibition of Chippa Sudhakar comprises a set of works done in multi-media in a theme that reflects upon the way the space of nature is occupied by the processes of expansion of modern human habitation. The works display an interest in the ecological changes that reach us as effects and impacts as we live far away. Effecting and impacting as we live our everyday life, to articulate these effects and impacts the artist’s work constantly looks for the ways to visually express through materials and mediums that are both new as well as conventional. This exhibition is curated by Santhosh Sakhinala.

Presented by Marwah Art Gallery, the exhibition Parallel Realities brings together a powerful group of artists whose practices engage with dualities: External vs Internal, Real vs Imagined, Tangible vs Elusive. The exhibition does not resolve contradictions, instead it celebrates them. Through material, memory led practices, figuration and abstraction these artists challenge the observer’s initial impressions, inviting a slower more reflective engagement with the works. Parallel Realities ultimately aims to create an environment wherein multiple truths can be held at once, encouraging viewers to move beyond the surface and engage with what often remains to be unseen.

Curated by Leena Nam Joshi Teen Manzar is a unique storytelling experience, where three women artists express distinct perspectives across vital dimensions of human existence. Each artist works across diverse media — mixed media, acrylics, oil, watercolours, charcoal, and photography — creating a vibrant yet cohesive exhibition that invites the viewer to experience these three distinct visual voices. Interactive workshops during the exhibition will further engage the community, encouraging deeper participation in this artistic dialogue. Tarab explores dreams, identity and self-expression, weaving personal experiences, cultural symbolism, and introspective narratives into her work. Richa focuses on nature and the environment, capturing both its fragile beauty and the urgent challenges we face, reflecting on the shifting human-nature relationship. Vanessa reveals the overlooked beauty in everyday life, employing documentary and conceptual approaches to draw attention to subtle moments that are often overlooked.

Presented by Tulsyan Family Beneficiary Trust Curated by Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya Organised by Tulsyan Family Beneficiary Trust, this exhibition presents the works of Shahabuddin Ahmed, a Bangladeshi artist which are immediately recognizable for their powerful dynamism and distinctive visual language. Primarily in oil on canvas, his paintings reveal a strong engagement with European modernism. Yet, despite the stylistic resonances, his subject matter remains deeply rooted in the ethos of his homeland. His compositions often present monumental, baroque-like figures suspended in charged spatial fields, figures that appear to surge forward in search of light, energy, and transcendence. Curated by Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya who is an archivist and writer who specializes in the study and preservation of India’s artistic and visual culture.

Curated by Uma Nair Presented by RK Gupta Foundation This solo exhibition by RK Gupta who is a distinguished artist from Chandigarh, reflects the beauty of indigenous character as a tradition that can have its continuity in contemporary character. Sheesham tree trunks worked upon in layers with resin and painted with indigenous art studied by RK Gupta and created during Covid Years. His exhibition of oils and resin work created in terms of Australian Aborigine accents, Warli, Gond, Phulkari and Himachali transcends both time and tradition. His works consist of tribal and folk elements along with juxtaposition of the expression of human forms. As an artist Gupta has been tracing tradition in the old folk idiom’s ideology, and he combines the lexicon of language with the concept of the rustic rhythms of India’s indigenous identities. His love of printmaking is what made him explore the resinated layers on wooden tree trunks during his Covid days. Within the language of dots and dashes and strokes and symbols we gaze at the masculine and the feminine. This exhibition is curated by art critic and historian Uma Nair who has followed the artist for the past five years ever since the Covid pandemic.
