Over the last ten years, contemporary art from India has become very popular. Big group exhibitions have so far been shown in Europe, the United States and China. Private galleries – mostly from Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore – have built a local art-market and became important players on the international scene. Non-commercial organizations - such as KHOJ and the SARAI Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in Delhi and 1 Shanti Road in Bangalore, as well as art-schools are opening up spaces for independent ideas and projects.

The show in Poland concentrates on young artists (including some from the diaspora) in an attempt to grasp the state of mind and spirit of their generation. At the exhibition are to be found not only  previously existing works, but also projects created especially for the show. The exhibition presents a wide range of artists, with different concerns and modes of artistic expression. These have been configured in several important themes: tradition/ritual/costume; portraits; city/change/architecture, society; science and technology in art; politics/identity/social activism; and Polish-Indian cultural relations. Contemporary ideas are expressed through both traditional and modern media: photography, film, video installation, sculpture, drawing, painting and animation.
