Relaxed View of The Imaginary Institution of India: Art 1975–1998

— ,Art Gallery
Gulammohammed Sheikh, Speechless City, 1975_smaller

Our Relaxed Viewings are dedicated to visitors who'd benefit from a more informal approach to noise and movement in the space, or who feel more comfortable knowing that they can enter and exit freely.

The Relaxed Viewings are with a lower visitor capacity, and support visitors who would feel more comfortable knowing that they can enter and exit freely. There will be areas of low lighting around the gallery space and sound elements in the lower level of the gallery. Staff will be on hand to support and answer any questions you may have on your visit.  

A landmark group exhibition of art made in response to India’s changing cultural-political landscape during pivotal years. 

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.
