Emerging Palettes, now in its 15th edition, brings together a fresh cohort of emerging voices in contemporary Indian art. Organised in collaboration with Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad, this annual showcase features artists who have completed their Masters in Art within the last four years—presenting works that explore the richness and complexity of materiality itself.
For the past 15 years, Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad has been a consistent partner, nurturing young talent and fostering creative conversations that make Emerging Palettes a vibrant space for discovery and dialogue.
This edition is particularly exciting because it reveals how artists today are thinking beyond the canvas and traditional approaches. Each artist’s practice becomes a dialogue with wood, textiles, found objects, and more—pushing the boundaries of what art can be. From the layered stories in textile installations to the poetic reuse of discarded materials, these works remind us that what an artist chooses to work with can itself become a powerful narrative tool.
