PERFORMANCE ART
Activated by artists Jyothidas K V and Sajan Mani, India Art Fair’s Performance Art programme
BODi-Verse invites audiences to engage their bodies and consider the pluralities of ways in which they
interact with their natural and social environments. The performances by artists Manmeet Devgun,
CYNK Collective, Jyothidas K V and Sajan Mani use ritualistic movement and immersive soundscapes
to simultaneously ground and shake the audience-participants’ senses of identity as they pertain to
gender, caste, class and other social categories.
‘THE FUTURE IS BORN OF ART’ COMMISSION
Marking eight years of partnership, India Art Fair and BMW India expand the scale and scope of ‘The
Future is Born of Art’ Commission created to platform Indian art and artists on a global stage. The
winning artist for the 2024 Commission, Sashikanth Thavudoz, will create an immersive installation at
the fair on the theme of Forwardism with the BMW i7 at its centre. Thavudoz’s project, Symphony of
Nature: The Harmonic Forest, uses a combination of natural and industrial materials to evoke the fragile
balance of the ecosystem and human responsibility to nurture the planet’s resources as we progress into
the future. One of the largest artist commissions in India, the Commission attests to BMW India and India
Art Fair’s shared belief in the power of art, creativity and innovation in building a sustainable collective
future.
Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India comments, “BMW Group India is a leading patron and
partner of various art and cultural engagements across India. We strongly believe that corporate
citizenship and intercultural dialogue are essential elements of the core foundation of our responsibility
