Explore art and activism in the world’s most populous democracy, India.
Organized by the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, this exhibition introduces the vital work of Sahmat, a Delhi-based collective. Animated by the urgent belief that art can propel change and that culture can reach across boundaries, Sahmat has offered a platform for an expansive group of artists and collaborators to present powerful works of art that defend freedom of expression and battle intolerance within India’s often divisive political landscape.
