This exhibition sheds light on a neglected period in Indian art history. We often see oversimplified narratives focusing on the partition or the rise in the 1990s.
The Emergency marked a critical shift in India's socio-political landscape, with artists reflecting the disillusionment and the challenges that followed the initial excitement post-independence.
The exhibition features over 100 works that explore themes of communal violence, gender, and caste—which remain pivotal issues in contemporary India, underscoring the urgency of these discussions.
The curatorial approach aims to present a nuanced story of a nation in crisis, showcasing how art serves not just as a reflection but also as a critique of society.
