Amar Kanwar

For over two decades, New Delhi-based artist and filmmaker Amar Kanwar has developed a distinctive body of lyrical films that move between documentary, travelogue and visual essay. This major solo exhibition unfolds as a site-specific installation, bringing together new and existing films to transform Serpentine North into a meditative visual and sonic environment.

Kanwar's works often races the legacies of decolonisation and the partition of India and Pakistan. While rooted in the specific conditions of the Indian subcontinent, his practice grapples with broader themes of displacement, nationalism, violence, power, censorship, and memory - ultimately revealing what unites us rather than differentiates us regardless of context.
