For Indianama 2019 we wanted to remind people that history is not a one-dimensional science; rather a result of multiple intersecting factors that are only understood in retrospect.
With our theme dedicated to history, we reimagined the defining moments from India’s past: what if they’d happened a different way than we know, or not at all? What would India be like today?
The result was an almanac of 52 different ‘rifts’ in history by 52 artists, each being a key event from India’s past that didn’t happen exactly how we remember it. Their versions of present-day India thus culminated in a rich tapestry of events that make the fabric of India or fabricates its possibilities.
