Taking place annually in India’s capital, New Delhi, India Art Fair, presented in partnership with BMW India, reflects the city’s fast-developing local arts scene, while offering curated insights into the cultural landscapes of neighbouring countries. The fair’s programme - which draws together galleries and artists, private foundations and arts charities, artists’ collectives, national institutio

ns, cultural events and festivals - enables international audiences to engage in innovative ways with the cultural history and development of the region. The fair is committed to supporting arts education and professional development opportunities, recognising the crucial need to support the development of the local arts scene, and provide dedicated exhibition space to emerging galleries and arts organisations. Year-round, the fair aims to run an extensive programme of events, including education initiatives, artist commissions and pop-up programmes, aiming to increase audiences for the arts within India

Applications are now open for the 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 at India Art Fair 2027 — curated solo presentations that give a single practice the space to unfold in full.

This is the section for depth. We’re looking for proposals that let an artist’s vision breathe across a dedicated space: mid-career talents whose work has sharpened over years, and emerging voices from South Asia making something we haven’t seen before. Painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, the experimental and the in-between — if the practice rewards close looking, we want to see it!

Presented by participating galleries and institutions, the Focus Section sits at the heart of the fair, where collectors, curators, and a global art community come to discover what’s next.

One artist, one room, one undivided conversation.

Apply before the opportunity closes.

🗓 India Art Fair 2027 | February 4–7, 2027

Can whispers be seen sustaining what society does not wish to confront, and reclaim the frequency in the public eye?

Experimenter presents Soumya Sankar Bose’s ( ) fifth solo exhibition, 𝙒𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙤 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨. Bose reconstructs the archival materials and oral histories from his long-term research and engagement with local communities.

The work is pervasive, and yet, remains marred by a resistance, narrating through photographs, films, and alternative archives.

𝙒𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙤 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨 is on view April 6 – June 6, 2026 at Experimenter ( ), Ballygunge Place, Kolkata.

A hand is never 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 a hand. It carries memory, labour, inheritance and in 𝙎𝙝𝙚, it becomes both tool and testimony.

On view now at Pristine Contemporary ( ) , 𝙎𝙝𝙚 brings together seven artists from across the subcontinent — Afina Ashraf, Alishba Binte Faysal, Jahnvi Singh Rohet, Krisha Bhuva, Mahnoor Salman Khan, Mays Al Moosawi, and Pem Lham — in an exhibition that asks what it truly means to see a woman. Not as subject but as force. Across painting, miniature, and installation, colour stains and bleeds, movement negotiates, and the female gaze confronts, reframes, reclaims — on its own terms.

𝙎𝙝𝙚 is on view at Pristine Contemporary until 5th July 2026

We are always already looking. But attention is something else entirely, it strains, flickers, fragments. It is not a given, it is a negotiation.

Curated by Manya Kochhar ( ), 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 brings together ten artists including Maithli Chaturvedi, Abhimanue Govindan, Chaturika Jayani, Shivangi Kalra, Ashna Malik, Harsh Nambiar, Gayan Prageeth, Aditya Puthur, Arinjoy Sen, and Smitha Shajith, whose practices make attention itself the subject.

Across theatrical painting, surreal domestic interiors, and communal watercolours that pulse with their own rhythm, the works ask who trains your gaze, and what it costs.

𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 is on view May 14 – June 13, 2026 at Aicon Contemporary ( )
