Quotes
Minal Vazirani
Co-founder of Art Mumbai
“Institutions such as the Barbican, Tate Modern, Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco are featuring art from the subcontinent and the Middle East in a big way. There was a significant representation of south Asian artists at La Biennale di Venezia last year. You can see a difference in the way the rest of the world is engaging with art from the region.”

“There has been a 60% increase in the number of exhibitors from the first year. This allows us to present a wider range of artists from across geographies to the visitors. We are also expecting a growth of a little over 100 per cent in the number of visitors this time over year one.”

Veerangana Solanki
Curator of the Sculpture Park
“We didn’t want to spotlight women artists just for the sake of it but to recognise their style of storytelling. They often get overlooked when it comes to thinking about scale.”

“There is a certain tactility to the works. They beckon the visitors to come closer, making the viewing a remarkably intimate experience.”
