DAG presents Face to Face: A Portrait of a City, a special exhibition for Mumbai Gallery Weekend 2026, featuring thirty portraits that reflect Bombay’s evolving social fabric and artistic landscape from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Opening on 8 January 2026 at DAG, The Taj Mahal Palace, the exhibition showcases portraits of the individuals and communities who shaped its political, cultural and civic life while situating the city within a broader global history and how they have long functioned as markers of power, lineage, aspiration and identity. In a city formed by imperial structures, trade networks and waves of migration, portraiture offers a particularly revealing lens for understanding its layered character.
