Come May 8, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale president Jitish Kallat will make an announcement of the curator for its seventh edition. Prior to that, on May 6, 2026, India will arrive in Venice not with a single story — but as a chorus.
With a focus on the ideas of home, memory, and belonging and their shifting registers, the India Pavilion is taking the exhibition ‘Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home’ to the 61st Venice Biennale. The festival runs from May 9, with previews from May 6-8. Presented by the National Gallery of Modern Art and Ministry of Culture, curated by Amin Jaffer, five artists will be showcased: Alwar Balasubramaniam, Ranjani Shettar, Sumakshi Singh, Skarma Sonam Tashi, and Asim Waqif. The Pavilion exhibit is being supported by Isha Ambani, chairperson of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, and Sunil Munjal, founder of Serendipity Arts Foundation.
