Glimpses of ‘Sediments of Becoming: Fossilised Present, Summoned Pasts’
For cultural diplomacy at a moment of acute global fracture, the exhibition is a reminder of all that endures - that cultures travel beyond the lines drawn across maps, and that it is in resisting their erasure that art bears witness. To present this at the Hermitage, among the oldest and most defining cultural institutions of the modern world, a site through which strata of Indian heritage have passed via cultural diplomacy, colonial exchanges or dynastic spoils, is to invite an encounter of an entirely different order.
Not display. Not artifact. But contemporary voice.
Curated by Marina Schulz and Tunty Chauhan.
On view till 4th October 2026.
