Unfolding Narratives: Perspectives in Contemporary Indian Art | Group Show
Mall Galleries, London

July 1, 2026 - July 8, 2026

Marking Sakshi Gallery's 40th year, Unfolding Narratives: Perspectives in Contemporary Indian Art brings together works by six artists, Amit Ambalal, Manjunath Kamath, Ravinder Reddy, Rekha Rodwittiya, Shine Shivan and Surendran Nair, whose practices have shaped and redefined contemporary Indian art over several decades. The exhibition includes a number of newly created works, offering insight into the artists' current directions and evolving concerns.

The exhibition explores storytelling as a dynamic force within contemporary art. While narrative has long been central to Indian visual culture, these artists move beyond inherited traditions to reimagine stories through personal, political and cultural perspectives. Across the exhibition, narrative becomes a space for reflection, memory, resistance, humour and critique.
