- PRIYANKA KATHURIA

Seventy-two galleries, 21 institutions, design studios, and 18 international exhibitors—the 2024 edition of the India Art Fair is not only large in scale but is also fostering a richer and more inclusive engagement, with sustainability playing a pivotal role in their overarching theme. Jaya Asokan, the fair director, says it’s not just about showcasing art, but nurturing connections that extend beyond borders. “At the core of whatever we do is to help the artists benefit as much as we can,” shares Jaya.

There is something for everyone this time! The big names in this edition include Vikram Goyal, the Chanakya School of Craft, atelier Ashiesh Shah, Rooshad Shroff, de Gournay, and jewellery brand Studio Renn. Ashiesh will be collaborating with Carpenters Workshop Gallery to present a booth curated around the theme of Querencia—a Spanish word that describes a place where one feels safe, a ‘home’ that serves as a source of strength and inspiration.
