Reclaiming Narratives: An Exhibition of Ambedkarite Art

Join us for a groundbreaking art exhibition showcasing the works of Ambedkarite artists who challenge, inspire, and reclaim narratives through their powerful visual expressions. This exhibition is a tribute to the resilience, struggles, and aspirations of marginalized communities, highlighting themes of social justice, dignity, and equality.

Through paintings, digital media, and books, the artists reinterpret histories, celebrate resistance, and envision a future rooted in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s ideals. Each piece tells a story—of oppression and assertion, of pain and empowerment—offering a deeply personal yet collective journey through the lived realities of Dalit, Bahujan, and Adivasi communities.

This is more than an art show; it is a movement. We invite you to witness and engage with art that speaks truth to power, that refuses erasure, and that reclaims space with bold, unapologetic creativity.
