You can still catch these India Art Fair exhibits in Delhi

Did you skip the India Art Fair last weekend and spend the past few days having to hear about how unmissable it was? There’s no need to worry—this is your chance to catch up. These 5 Delhi based exhibits were a part of IAF and are continuing to run through this weekend. Visit them when you get a chance—if not for the art then at least to see what all the fuss is about!

Seema Kohli turns personal history into art with Khula Aasman, a multimedia reconstruction of collective memory and displacement. Focusing on her ancestral home in Pind Dadan Khan, now in Pakistan, Kohli draws from family archives and oral narratives to reflect the mass displacement during the Partition. A multichannel video installation, silver gelatin prints—tinted with pigments from 1957, and audio excerpts from her father’s autobiography portray the particular ephemerality of belonging, memory, and home.

Marking 20 years of the Devi Art Foundation, Pehchaan traces India’s rich textile traditions through a thoughtfully curated showcase. This collaboration with the National Museum, led by curator Mayank Mansingh Kaul and designer Reha Sodhi, explores enduring motifs and craftsmanship, reaffirming textiles as both cultural artefacts and living history.

This retrospective charts Devraj Dakoji’s five-decade printmaking legacy from Hyderabad to New York’s Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, displaying works from 1970 to 2024. Featuring lithographs and etchings from The Organic Series, The Rock Series, and more, the exhibition honours his artistic evolution, deep ties to nature, and enduring influence as a master printmaker and mentor.

Sudhir Patwardhan’s latest show dissects the urban sprawl—its rise, its ruin, and the lives caught in between. Across 65 works, from sprawling canvases to intimate sketches, the Mumbai-based artist maps the shifting anatomy of cities. Previously shown at FRIEZE London, Cities: Built, Broken is now open to India’s public in Delhi’s Defence Colony.

Flowing Heritage examines India’s relationship with water through a mix of tactile and tech-driven installations, soundscapes, and visuals. The exhibition spotlights water as both muse and lifeblood. Iconic pots symbolise renewal, while painted narratives trace its influence on culture, creativity, and spiritual practice.
