Title: प्रक्रिया / Process
Dates: 22 April – 23 May 2026
Venue: B-24, Defence Colony, New Delhi 110024

प्रक्रिया / Process reflects on process as both method and meaning, bringing into dialogue a wide range of practices rooted in the South Asian context. The exhibition features works by the gallery’s roster of artists, whose practices emphasise process, research, and the conceptual use of media and material.

The show features artists including Amitava, Anoli Perera, Arun Dev, Awdhesh Tamrakar, Baaraan Ijlal, Divya Singh, Hema Shironi, Moonis Ijlal, Nandita Kumar, Neerja Kothari, Paribartana Mohanty, Ranjana Thapalyal, Renuka Rajiv, Sajan Mani, Samanta Batra Mehta, Sangita Maity, Sarker Protick, Shruti Mahajan, and Tayeba Begum Lipi.

Conceived as a departure from the conventional white cube, the 2,400 sq. ft. space foregrounds experience, layering materiality, light, and spatial rhythm to create an environment that invites pause, reflection, and sustained engagement. From a striking entry descent to intimate reading and lounge areas, the space is envisioned not just as a site for exhibition, but as a space for dialogue and deeper interaction with art.

With this new space, founders Anahita Taneja and Shefali Somani continue to shape Shrine Empire as a discursive platform, one that encourages audiences to engage more meaningfully with artists and their processes, extending beyond viewing into dialogue, exchange, and everyday presence.
