Odes and Inquisitions: Sino-Indian Connections in Recent Indian Art

Volume 14, Number 1, January/February 2015
by Ryan Holmberg


Article Description

Ryan Holmberg's text focuses on two exhibitions in Mumbai that have direct and indirect references to China. One exhibition, at Clark House Initiative, explores the Chinese diaspora within India through the remnants of the Chinese community that continues to exist in Mumbai. The other, at Mumbai Art Room, exhibited artists from Hong Kong and India and presented work that addressed India-China relations from diverse perspectives. This text enters into relatively uncharted territory with respect to China and its relationship with other Asian regions.
