Emami Art in Kolkata is set to launch two concurrent exhibitions on March 20, 2026, titled "Nothing Twice" and "Chance Remains of Another Time." "Nothing Twice," a group show curated by Ushmita Sahu, features nine emerging women artists exploring themes of impermanence and domesticity through diverse media including textiles, ceramics, and video. Running alongside it is a solo presentation by Kolkata-based artist Suman Dey, whose new polyptych works utilize abstract fragments to mirror the complexities and decay of contemporary urban life.
These exhibitions underscore Emami Art’s role as a pivotal hub for contemporary South Asian art and socially engaged practices. By juxtaposing a multi-disciplinary group exploration of memory with a focused solo study of urban transformation, the gallery highlights the evolving materiality of Indian contemporary art. The shows reflect a broader institutional commitment to fostering emerging talent and providing a platform for critical discourse within the regional art scene.
