The Generation in Transition exhibition presents the artworks of a young generation of artists of Indian origin, living and working in India, as well as in America and Europe. It is the first extensive showcase of contemporary art from this region presented in Central Europe in recent years. For about twenty years now, India has been experiencing an enormous economic and technological development, which has had a substantial impact on social structures. This change, with its positive and negative aspects, is frequently reflected in the works of contemporary artists, especially in those of the youngest ones who have grown up in these interesting times of transition.
The title of the show is borrowed from the title of a photographic series by Anay Mann, who makes portraits of his contemporaries – “an urban generation that is constantly seeking to define itself”, trying to find their place between local tradition and history, and the more and more globalized and technicized reality they live in.
