How cool does this sound!

Sharjah Art Foundation is hosting an Autumn’s Programme that will include a South Asian Pop Art and many more exhibitions! Scroll down below to read all about this special pop art happening soon!

It is one of the first major exhibitions to provide a comprehensive survey of South Asian modern and contemporary art engaging with popular culture. The exhibition will feature artists addressing complex issues confronting the self and society through irony, play, and humour, spanning works from the mid-twentieth century to the present.

Pop South Asia, which runs from September 2 to December 11, will feature over 100 works by artists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the South Asian diaspora. The works include paintings, prints, videos, and installations.

The exhibition will cover a wide range of topics, from religious and folk practices to cinema and digital media. It seeks to go beyond the conventional understanding of pop art and investigate the nuances of the popular movement in South Asia.

It will make its debut at the foundation before traveling to the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, which assisted in its organization.

We can already tell that this is going to turn out amazing!
