Amrita Jhaveri has been working in the field of Modern and Contemporary Indian art since 1993. Having established Christie’s India in the early 1990s, she moved to London in 2000 and began to build her private collection of art from which she has loaned to museums worldwide. She has worked as an independent advisor, creating and managing private and corporate art collections; ambitious artist’s projects and large-scale commissions. In 2010, she established Jhaveri Contemporary, a gallery of Modern and Contemporary art, in Mumbai. Her research interests have resulted in exhibitions such as Thinking Tantra ( Drawing Room, London ), South Asian Modernists, 1953- 63 ( Whitworth Gallery ) and Pop South Asia ( Sharjah Art Foundation and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art ). She is the author of 101: A Guide to 101 Modern and Contemporary Indian Artists, 2005. Amrita is a Trustee of the Kochi Biennale Foundation. She sits on the Advisory Boards of Art South Asia Project ( London ), The Museum of Art & Photography ( Bengaluru, India ) and Khoj Artists Association (New Delhi)
Amba Sayal-Bennett (b. 1991, London) is a British-Indian artist working across drawing, projection, and sculptural installation. Her practice explores how methods of abstraction are exclusionary and performative, crafting boundaries between what is present, absent, and othered. She is interested in how abstraction has been used as an essentialising mechanism through its divorcing of context. Using translation, her works follow a migratory logic, tracing the movements of bodies, knowledge and forms across different sites, processes inherent to the diasporic experience.
Sayal-Bennett lives and works in London. She received her BFA from Oxford University, her MA in History of Art from the Courtauld, and her MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. She was awarded her PhD in Art Practice and Learning from Goldsmiths and has published her practice-based research with Tate Papers. Between January and March 2022, she was The Derek Hill Foundation scholar at the British School at Rome in Italy. Exhibitions include Drawing Room Invites (upcoming), Drawing Room, London, (2025); Anatomy of Parts, Indigo+Madder, London (2025); Artist’s Rooms, Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai (2024); Geometries of Difference, Somerset House, London (2022); Horror in the Modernist Block, IKON, Birmingham (2022); and Tomorrow, White Cube, London (2021).
Dame Sonia Boyce OBE RA is an interdisciplinary artist and academic working across film, drawing, photography, print, sound and installation. In 2022, she presented ‘Feeling Her Way’ for the British Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale in Italy, for which she was awarded the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Boyce came to prominence in the early 1980s as a key figure in the burgeoning British Black Arts Movement with figurative pastel drawings and photo collages that addressed issues of race and gender in Britain. Since the 1990s, Boyce has shifted significantly to embrace a social practice that invites improvisation, collaboration, movement, and sound with other people. Working across a range of media, Boyce’s practice today is focused on questions of artistic authorship and cultural difference.
In 2016, Boyce was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts in London, UK, and in 2023, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science in Boston MA. In 2014, she became a Professor at University of the Arts London, UK, where she holds the inaugural Chair in Black Art & Design. In the 2024 King’s New Year Honours List, Boyce was awarded a Damehood. Her work is in many UK and international museum collections including: Tate, London, UK; Saastamoinen Foundation, Helsinki, Finland; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC.
Amrita Dhallu is an independent curator and researcher based in South East England. She provides support structures for artists through exhibition-making, commissioning, publishing and creating artistic networks.
