The 2025 art landscape was energized by a shift of events beyond major cities like Mumbai and Delhi, reaching Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad. Collaborations between galleries continued, with a focus on 'friendship economies' and community at festivals like Serendipity Arts and Kochi-Muziris Biennale. Artists explored themes of displacement, belonging, and ecological fragility, with significant presence from the Global South and the Middle East, notably Qatar, becoming a hub for Indian art.
