Delhi Contemporary Art Week

IN‑BETWEEN / BEYOND

LATITUDE 28 is delighted to present ‘IN‑BETWEEN / BEYOND’ at Delhi Contemporary Art Week, an exhibit that brings together a curated group of contemporary artists from across South Asia who navigate shifting landscapes, embodied transitions, and the porous boundary between truth and fiction with an urgent and radical poise.

IN‑BETWEEN / BEYOND is not a thematic constraint but a state of engagement. It showcases an ensemble of emerging and mid-career artists who trace new cartographies of being; where form is both inquiry and resistance. They remind us that to live in a fractured world is also to inhabit a space of potential: to imagine otherwise, to see otherwise, to build otherwise. Across painting, sculpture, installation, tapestries, and mixed media, their works are shaped by the conditions of rupture and renewal: the dissonance of migration, the fragility of memory, the distortion of myths, and the silent resilience of everyday life.

Anupama Alias Anil and Jayati Bose trace the tender thresholds of womanhood, fragile anatomies and stories that have a life staging truths. Gopa Trivedi’s lyrical gouaches of hybrid creatures, Farhat Ali’s miniature-inspired paintings recontextualize Disney characters, Viraj Khanna’s embroidered and painted works probe the gap between curated perfection and lived reality, reimagining images as dream-like reflections on selfhood and Mayur Gupta’s austere tantric gateways reframe the language of the sacred. Hasmukh Makwana draws on Saurashtra’s craft traditions to weave textured narratives of rural life and memory while Juhikadevi Bhanjdeo reinterprets her works as layered metaphors of identity and belonging, linking personal history with Bastar’s tribal heritage. Pratul Dash entombs urban detritus in concrete; and Sudipta Das suspends fleets of paper figures in mid‑migration, each gesture a meditation on home as both promise and memory. Chandan Bez Baruah’s woodcuts breathe mist into remembered forests, while Shubham Kumar’s watercolours expose the bruised earth of contested land. Yogesh Ramkrishna and Ketaki Sarpotdar, meanwhile, harness satire and fable to strip bare the theatre of politics and the slippery masks of selfhood. Latika Nehra reflects on intimacy and memory through material gestures of care, while Shalina Vichitra employs cartographic tools to question belonging and spatial experience, and Vinita Sharma preserves the Rajasthani and Mughal miniature traditions, bridging ancestral heritage with contemporary resonance. This edition also marks the first showing in Delhi of Hasseena Suresh, Prasad Hettiarachchi and Firi Rahman; an important moment of introduction for three distinct and long-evolving practices rooted in political dissent, feminist inquiry, material wisdom and exploration and longing for fauna. 

What unites these voices is not a single material or theme, but a shared insistence that art can indeed dwell in the interstice and be emancipated. LATITUDE 28 continues to uphold its commitment to shaping a dynamic contemporary discourse that nurtures imagination and brings the emergent voices of the Global South to the fore. The gallery is a reputed launchpad for new talent, consistently offering a platform for artists to present innovative and thought-provoking works.
