Shows to See at Mumbai Gallery Weekend 2025

Led by Bangalore-based artist Poornima Sukumar, Aravani Art Project is a collective of Indian trans- and cis-women aiming to foster awareness and support of LGBTQ+ communities through public art projects. Nine years since their establishment, the collective’s debut solo exhibition at Gallery XXL, “ON THE CUSP OF THE EIGHTH DAY,” presents work by Indian LGBTQ+ artists, celebrating their nuanced intersectional stories while emphasizing the social possibilities of artmaking and the conversations it enables.
