Mumbai Gallery Weekend: The 14th edition casts a new lens on contemporary art

Avantika Bhuyan, Mint, 4 January 2026
In the past few years, there has been a significant examination of Jyoti Bhatt’s photographic practice. Subcontinent in Fort takes this a notch further with A Painter with a Camera, featuring black-and-white silver gelatin prints that reveal the artist’s experiments with multiple exposures, collage, hand painting and darkroom interventions. “Long before digital manipulation, Bhatt treated the photograph as a surface to be worked and revisited, emphasising process, material intelligence, and an ongoing inquiry into time and making,” states the curatorial note.
