The seventh edition of the Delhi Contemporary Art Week (DCAW) is being held at Bikaner House between August 31 and September 4, with a preview scheduled for the evening of August 30.

Six galleries from the capital are participating: Blueprint 12, Exhibit 320, Gallery Espace, Latitude 28, Shrine Empire and Vadehra Art Gallery.

The galleries' individual exhibitions of Indian and South Asian artists will be complemented by two thematic exhibitions. Threads That Bare brings together works from 14 artists across the six galleries, each drawing from India's rich and diverse textile traditions. A Bold Step Sideways, highlighting works that subvert conventional ideas about art and history, has been curated by Girish Shahane.

Shahane and Teesta Bhandare will also lead a public walkthrough on August 31 (11 am), co-hosted by Art Mumbai.
