Celebrating Diwali, Barbican opened a landmark group exhibition of art made in response to India’s changing cultural-political landscape during pivotal years.

It is exclusively free at the weekend of Divali, therefore great chance to follow with the festive air to celebrate intercultural event.

Featuring artwork by over 30 Indian artists, this major exhibition is bookended by two transformative events in India’s history: Indira Gandhi’s declaration of a state of emergency in 1975 and the Pokhran nuclear tests in 1998. The fraught period between these years was marked by social upheaval, economic collapse, and rapid urbanisation.

It would be great to understand socio-political depth of the society through artistic expressions together with members from India.
