Kalakriti Art Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of their group exhibition Origin Story 2.0, which will be on view at IILM Center for Arts and Ideas in New Delhi. The exhibition has been guest curated by Satyajit Dave, and will feature 38 emerging and mid-career contemporary artists. After the success of the first edition of Origin Story in 2025, the second edition will continue to champion Indian contemporary artists, offering accessible yet conceptually rigorous works and fostering dialogue with new and young collectors. In the context of the exhibition, Origin Story 2.0 traces the evolution of human creativity and rather than focusing on a singular moment, it focuses on multiple possible moments in material memory, thoughts, and imagination. The idea of ‘reiteration’ offers an awareness of a world where craft, tools, numismatics, and early systems of measurement and governance are presented as foundational technologies that are then repackaged in a contemporary version or culture. Featuring a range of artists from across the country, each with their unique backgrounds and approaches, the exhibition offers a rich exploration of the creative process and their self-expression.
