Tangible Mosaics, Takshila Fine Art Scholars Show 2025.

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming exhibition – “Tangible Mosaic”

As a part of the Takshila Fine Arts Fellowship 2024, six artists from around the country had the opportunity to develop their artistic practice by re-engaging in research and exploration of their chosen materials and sites of practice. Working with a range of materials — found objects, images, news articles, stories, interviews, and poetry from their everyday lives, they employ both personal and reflective processes to bring forth artworks that visibilise, question, analyse, critique, archive, document, and bear witness. For these six artists, materials go beyond being a mere medium and become a tool to embody their ideas, as well as a metaphor for their concept. The fellowship facilitated their research and, through a mentorship programme, enabled reflection on the collected material and their practice.

The Takshila Fine Arts Scholarship, endowed in 2022, is a reflection of Takshila’s commitment to shared ecologies and materials. Our artists span a diversity of geographies, languages and forms; they stand united in their compassion for the fields of engagement and deep-rooted inquiries of their subjects. It is an honour for us to have been a part of their journeys, and we look forward to many future collaborations with them.
