For the first time in its 260-year history, the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, is hosting a dedicated exhibition of contemporary Indian art.
Sediments of Becoming: Fossilised Present, Summoned Pasts, produced in collaboration with Threshold Art Gallery, marks a landmark moment for Indian art on the global stage.
Co-curated by Marina Schulz and New Delhi-based gallerist Tunty Chauhan, the exhibition brings together 11 Indian artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, and performance — among them Afrah Shafiq, Anindita Bhattacharya, Debashish Mukherjee, Gargi Raina, Lakshmi Madhavan, and V. Ramesh. Each brings a living contemporary voice to a space historically shaped by colonial exchanges and dynastic collections.
