“Lateral B(l)inds”: A group show by IMMERSE
Curated by Satyam Yadav, the exhibition emerges as a synergistic response to dissonances in contemporary biopolitics, with artworks navigating critical tropes of health, environment, identity, gender, labour, and caste as impulsed and organised between polarities of apathy and violence in South-Asia.

Orbs of New Hues by AKHL Studio

SPECIAL PROJECTS
Photo-chemical Rasoi by Harkat Studios

Discover a diverse set of AR creators from various corners of India including cities like Surat, Patna, Mumbai, Gurugram, Prayagraj and beyond, and dive into the immersive experiences they craft through augmented reality technology. 
PARALLEL PROJECT
'Future Fables' by Vibha Galhotra Supported by Nature Morte
A visionary art installation that delves into the multifaceted transformation of contemporary urban environments, while also addressing the impact of wars and natural calamities. 
"Memorial to Socialist Modernity" by Rohit Raj Mehndiratta
Capturing demolition through photographic documentation and salvaged construction debris, the exhibition engages with a type of modernity produced by idiosyncratic brilliance and mass production generating dialogues on the notions of loss, on the visual spectacle of erasure, on the idea of collective and personal memory.
