The unique exhibition features over 50 exquisite artworks and installations from 5 Indian and 5 international artists, all celebrating India's diverse cultural impulses and traditions.Curated by American curator Jeffrey Deitch and India's leading cultural theorist Ranjit Hoskote, the exhibit is inspired by the idea of unions deeply rooted in Indian culture.From the works of internationally acclaimed artists like Anselm Kiefer, Cecily Brown and Francesco Clemente - whose pieces are being displayed in India for the very first time - to the artworks of eclectic Indian artists like Bhupen Khakhar, Ranj Shettar, Ratheesh T. and Shantibai, the show witnessed a unique melting pot of traditions, much like the Cultural Centre itself.On the final day, Nita Amb and Isha Amb launched the 'India in Fashion: The Impact of Indian Dress and Textiles on the Fashionable Imagination' exhibition at the cultural centre.
