Join the Curator and Director of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Delhi for an introduction to its highly regarded modern and contemporary South Asian art collection, proudly presented by SACHI and the Asian Art Museum.

The scope of modern and contemporary art from South Asia has grown exponentially in recent decades, prompting both historical reflection and institutional attention.

This talk by Roobina Karode, the distinguished Director and Chief Curator of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), reflects on the museum’s journey of building the collection and the critical curatorial inquiries it has opened within the art ecosystem of India and beyond.

The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art is a pioneering private museum established in 2010, exhibiting modern and contemporary works from India and the subcontinent. The museum’s vast collection of nearly 10,000 works will be housed in the new KNMA — a global destination for the arts in the making, launching in 2027.
