From the late-19th century to the present day, modern and contemporary art in India has been shaped by shifting socio-political climates and reflections on the subcontinent’s past. Through a series of videos and illustrated essays, we’ll delve into this complex history and explore major art schools and movements across the country. These lessons cover topics such as the emergence of abstraction, multimedia and collaborative practices, and the relationship between art and activism.
