The exhibition at the Barbican showcases Indian artists roughly from 1975 to 1998 but lacks coherent presentation and accessibility due to its confusing layout and absence of traditional labels.
Walking through the exhibition becomes frustrating as visitors must navigate poorly lit spaces without accessible labels, relying instead on a thick paperback book that’s cumbersome to use.
While the exhibition features varied artworks, it largely appeals to those already familiar with the artists and their historical context, leaving newcomers feeling detached and uninspired.
Despite some interesting pieces, the overall execution lacks flow and engagement, making the experience more of a chore than an enlightening journey through India's art history.
