About
The Pavilion of India announces details of its participation in the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, featuring the group exhibition, Geographies of Distance: remembering home. Presented by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, the exhibition will express how, for those whose lives are shaped by change or distance, home becomes less a fixed place and more a portable condition: part memory, part material, part ritual, part personal mythology. Delivered in partnership with the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and Serendipity Arts Foundation, two of India’s leading multi-disciplinary cultural institutions, the Pavilion will feature five Indian artists - Alwar Balasubramaniam (Bala), Sumakshi Singh, Ranjani Shettar, Asim Waqif and Skarma Sonam Tashi – all of whom draw on the material culture traditions that span millennia to evoke an emotional connection to the idea of home.
