Level 1

Join NGV Curators for a floor talk to discuss the exhibition Transforming Worlds: Change and Tradition in Contemporary India. Celebrating the unique artistic traditions developed by diverse indigenous and regional communities across India, Transforming Worlds explores the ways in which artists and creatives are using these visual languages to respond to India’s rapidly changing social environment, including changing gender dynamics and the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Drawn entirely from the NGV Collection, the exhibition showcases an important new collecting focus resulting in more than sixty recent acquisitions that have never-before been displayed. The presentation features dynamic and thought-provoking works by established and emerging artists from distinct communities across India.
