Indian Art Shines at Norway's Bergen Assembly Triennial
Imagine a big art show in a beautiful town in Norway!
This show, called the Bergen Assembly, brings together artists from all over to share their work.
This year, the show has an Indian artist and others leading the way, and it features art about important topics like farming, helping the environment, and social issues.
You can see paintings, sculptures, and even videos in museums, boats, and old buildings!
Some art focuses on water problems, farmer struggles, and the history of different communities.
There is even a seed library, where people can borrow seeds to grow plants!
It's all about sharing ideas and making people think about the world around them.
The Bergen Assembly is a triennial art event in Bergen, Norway.
The fifth edition is titled 'across, with, nearby' and features Indian art.
The Assembly includes various art forms and venues across the city.
