Please join us for an exhibition walkthrough with Giles Tillotson, SVP, DAG, as he takes us through the artistic practice of two of the best-known Indian artists in 1960s London.

Francis Newton Souza and Avinash Chandra shared remarkable parallels as modern Indian artists born between the World Wars. Contours of Identity: F. N. Souza & Avinash Chandra explores their journeys as émigré artists in 1960s London, where each developed a distinctive artistic voice. Their works, while markedly different in style, are notable for their bold explorations of sexuality while revealing complex negotiations with their cultural identity in Western contexts.
