23rd October 2026 - 10th January 2027

Introducing Sui Dhaga 2026, curated by Manjari Nirula, Oroon Das, Sujata Prasad, and Kamayani Jalan, whose long standing engagement with material culture and artistic traditions anchors the vision of this platform.

Sui Dhaga 2026 brings together embroidery traditions from across the Asia-Pacific region. At its heart is a museum-scale exhibition, The Continuing Threadline, accompanied by a wider public programme of conversations, performances, residencies, and a curated bazaar, collectively celebrating and reframing embroidery as both a vital inheritance of women's artistic labour and a living source of design innovation.

The Continuing Threadline is seeking authentic examples of embroidery traditions from the Asia Pacific and within India, accompanied with relevant contextual information. Though not averse to contemporary experiments and artistic departures from traditional embroidery styles, the focus is presently on the work of traditional makers to enable stories to be told with a sense of journey and history. The hope is to enrich the exhibition narrative in favour of the handmade with biographies of such exhibits and to build empathy for their making rituals within the lives and places where they’re made. The aim is to position time-honoured embroidery practices as human inheritance and as a document of the cultural history of disparate civilisations, regions and communities.

5th November to 23rd December, 2027

National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai

Theme: At Play

The Indian Ceramics Triennale was established in 2016 to address a critical gap: despite India’s deep ceramic and craft histories, contemporary clay practices historically lacked sustained national visibility and international dialogue. The nomadic format relocates each edition to a new city and venue, allowing local context and community to shape the platform anew each time.

The Indian Ceramics Triennale supports ceramics as a contemporary artistic language — one that moves fluidly across art, craft, design, architecture, ecology, and technology. Through exhibitions, research initiatives, public programming, and education, the Triennale nurtures a growing and diverse ecosystem of artists working with clay across India and beyond.

In this third edition of the Indian Ceramics Triennale, the exhibition is seen as an incubator of possibilities. Artists are invited to hold this undefined and unknown moment filled with potential, to dare to play through inventiveness, provocation, humour, satire, meaning, absurdity, performance and color. To use play as an institution of and for disruption, dreaming into existence the unexpected and unacknowledged. To question, through play, the forces at play.
