a roundtable May 2, 2025 @ 10AM EST (7:30PM IST)
This roundtable brought together leading scholars of South Asian art to examine how India’s evolving political landscape is reshaping contemporary art worlds. The discussion has explored how artists, institutions, and publics are negotiating tensions between sacred and secular domains, engaging with state authority, and redefining boundaries between artistic practice, scholarship, and commerce.
