The city’s cultural nerve centre, Fort, is set to welcome another art gallery this month. This one, called Subcontinent, is dedicated to showcasing lesser-known yet significant art from South Asia.

The aim is clear—to bring artists, scholars, and collectors together to bring lesser-known art into the mainstream. Gallerist and co-founder Keshav Mahendru tells Sunday mid-day, “Because some stories are told frequently and loudly, they form a do
minant narrative.

Our focus is on the overlooked art histories. There’s been a larger trend underway in the art world, re-evaluating the legacies of artists who deserve more attention. We want to highlight such narratives through exhibition-making, programming, publications, and by creating a space for conversation.”
The gallery will open its doors for its inaugural exhibition on March 13 at Apeejay Chambers, Murzban Road, showcasing the works of modernist artist-thinker Haku Shah. Don’t miss it—it’s a conversation starter!
