From New York to Manila, these are the art shows by Indians that are worth checking out

Soil And Stones, Souls And Songs

This travelling exhibition features works by Sheela Gowda and Prabhakar Pachpute. Curated by Cosmin Costinas and Inti Guerrero, the show — with a focus on Asia — traces themes of politics and its effects on the arts in the face of tension and changing realities.

Majnu Ka Tilla Diaries

Photographer Serena Chopra captures the lives and homes of the residents of Majnu Ka Tilla, a refugee colony of Tibetans in India’s capital. Chopra, who was inspired to work on the project after a chance conversation with the Dalai Lama, unveils the struggles of this exiled community through her striking monochrome photos.
