V. Ramesh is drawn to the bhakti movement of South India, not merely as theological phenomenon but as radical social force, prioritising love, vernacular song, and devotion over rigid ritual and caste orthodoxy. Constructing palimpsestic visual fields from temple murals, textiles, and oleographs, his practice is less archaeology than living transmission: in a world governed by material hierarchy, an act of devotion becomes both spiritual and social dissent.

Lakshmi Madhavan’s Looming Bodies series maps the porous boundary between personal experience and collective inheritance across the socialist histories of Kerala and the Soviet Union, finding in the Hermitage’s own walls an unexpectedly resonant counterpart. The work proposes that cultural memory is located not in preserved objects alone but within the living, labouring body, in the calibrated tension of the wrist, the rhythmic coordination of limbs, the durational endurance of the weaving process, constructing through photographic grids, loom fragments, wage books, and material residues an alternative archive in which weavers are co-authors rather than subjects. What emerges is an expanded conception of heritage: reoriented from preservation to enactment, from object to living process.

Gargi Raina works in a related register of material fragility: fragments of Persian manuscripts pressed against glass and scissors materialise the trauma of Partition and the loss of languages and oral histories. Her practice is rooted in the conviction that the personal becomes political and the historical becomes the present - that a family’s history of Partition, a 17th century Persian manuscript, are not private memories but entry points into the shared experience of displacement, erasure, and the violence of borders drawn arbitrarily across land and culture. The manuscript does not represent loss, it enacts it, and in enacting it, asserts that there is agency in the act of remembrance even in times of live-streamed devastation

Sumakshi Singh translates the monumental into the weightless, tracing in the process the instability of memory itself, how it fragments, distorts, and rewrites what it inherits. Ascent, a suspended indigo-blue spiral staircase of thread, carries this inquiry inward: drawn from the memory of a five-generation family home eventually demolished, it becomes a passage without destination, echoing yogic understanding of energy as something that coils, rises and returns. What was built to endure begins to dissolve, revealing history not as permanence but as something continually reshaped by time.

Afrah Shafiq’s ‘Nobody Knows For Certain’ takes as its subject one of the more quietly consequential by-products of the India-Soviet cultural accord, the richly illustrated children’s books that saturated Indian cities and towns during the Cold War, translated into most major Indian languages and distributed at remarkably low prices, embedding Soviet fairy tales and stories into the childhood memories of an entire generation. Storytelling, in her practice, is simultaneously playful and dangerous. A site of control and subversion where stories carry forward, leak, morph, and change the world and its people in ways that nobody knows for certain.

Anindita Bhattacharya’s stratified painterly surfaces enact deep time as ecological pressure, evoking extinction, fossilisation, and the fragile entanglements of human and non-human histories. Her work moves deliberately away from an exclusively human-centred narrative - hybrid, morphed forms suggest other ways of holding memory, other witnesses to what unfolds. Her practice inhabits the charged space between reverence and rupture: reverence for the fierce persistence of the natural world, and the unease at the Anthropocene’s legacy of erasure and transformation.

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.
