Vogue India highlights 11 new art shows opening across India in August 2025, including the 8th edition of Delhi Contemporary Art Week, which brings together six women-led galleries. Notable exhibitions include 'The Personal is Mythical' at Latitude 28 featuring Gond artist Bhajju Shyam, 'Roots of the Earth' at Jhaveri Contemporary exploring marginalized histories, and a solo show of Madhvi Parekh at DAG celebrating her folk modernist works. Other shows include 'Objects May Appear Softer…' at Black Cube Gallery, focusing on Indian female artists.
This roundup matters because it showcases the diversity and vitality of India's contemporary art scene, with a strong emphasis on women-led galleries and artists addressing social issues such as caste, gender, and colonial erasure. The article reflects a growing trend in Indian art toward inclusive narratives and community-based practices, while also highlighting the commercial and cultural significance of gallery exhibitions in major cities like New Delhi and Mumbai.
