Culled from the art collection of British Council, the exhibition 'Homelands' which will travel to New Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore and Mumbai from January is a unique take on contemporary British art by Indian curator Latika Gupta.
Including more than 80 works by 28 leading modern and contemporary artists, 'Homelands' excavates the idea of a 'homeland' to reveal a rich plurality of meaning; ideas of belonging, alienation, history and memory.
The collection includes works by four Turner Prize winners - Jeremy Deller, Richard Long, Grayson Perry and Gillian Wearing.
Four of the showcased artists are being invited to visit the exhibition in India, including Mona Hatoum, Suki Dhanda and Zineb Sedira. During their stay, the artists will engage with audiences, through seminars, curator-led walks, outreach activities and workshops.
Curator Latika Gupta says the collection raises questions like what constitutes a homeland
