As Israel and India celebrate 20 years of diplomatic and cultural ties, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art will showcase the thriving contemporary Indian art scene, with a painting exhibition of the works of 17 Indian artists scheduled to be held in May.

The exhibition will include both established, and several young artists, covering a wide range of media including photography, painting, video, sculpture and installation.

The works are anchored in the tumultuous social and political reality, and their multiple layers of meaning reflect different responses to the deep transformations that have been taking place in Indian society over the past two decades.
