Hybridity and Belonging in Contemporary Art

Sundaram Tagore Gallery is pleased to present Hybridity and Belonging in Contemporary Art, the inaugural exhibition of our new multilevel London gallery.

Bringing together an international group of artists from and inspired by Asia, the exhibition explores hybridity, displacement, nostalgia, and the refusal to be confined by a singular identity. Crossing cultural and national boundaries, the artists synthesize Eastern and Western visual languages, forms, techniques, and philosophies. By incorporating authentic elements from their cultures of origin, each contributes to a richer, more complex artistic language that expands the contemporary canon. The exhibition and its artists reflect Sundaram Tagore Gallery’s cross-cultural ethos and longstanding commitment to artists working across geographies and lived experiences.

The exhibiting artists in Hybridity and Belonging in Contemporary Art include Anila Quayyum Agha (b. 1965, Pakistan), Miya Ando (b. 1973, Los Angeles), Chun Kwang Young (b. 1944, South Korea), Trishla Jain (b. 1985, New Delhi), Jane Lee (b. 1963, Singapore), Tayeba Begum Lipi (b. 1969, Bangladesh), Kenny Nguyen (b. 1990, Vietnam), Sohan Qadri (b. 1932, India – d. 2011, Canada), Hiroshi Senju (b. 1958, Tokyo), Neha Vedpathak (b. 1982, India), Robert Yasuda (b. 1940, Hawaii) and Zheng Lu (b. 1978, China).
