Artists United Collective has come together as a collective in the wake of COVID-19 is to reach out to artists to create a support structure that will give a new model of sustenance during and even after these precarious times, which also gives a direction to voice and document the current urgent times through our curatorial project. ‘Broken Foot-Unfolding Inequalities’, is the collective’s first online curatorial exhibition project, as a fundraiser. 60 socio-politically conscious artists have been invited specifically to build a context for the curatorial vision, as they help us generate a fundraiser for the artists in need.
India is a country of diversity but the expression “unity in diversity” suits it better. The country is a homeland for diverse languages, cultures, religions and traditions. All this diversity coexists in peace and harmony. India is a country that is celebrated for its brotherhood and acceptance. No great land has ever accepted these many religions and cultures with an embracing arm. India is a country rich in art, heritage and cultural opulence. It is the land of colours, sadhus and hope. All these things stand as a legacy and testimony to India’s great history. Same as diversity, secularism is another term that defines the country. As we celebrate the 75th Independence day this year, it is the best time to cherish all its history, valour, struggle and successes. Let us take a look at some of the artworks and paintings that focus on themes that define India.
Until the beginning of modernism, Photography, Truth and Art used to be close friends.

Even when the first photographic prints were developed from a negative in 1839 by William Henry Fox Talbot, he immediately saw the mimetic new medium as an art form.
IT WAS AN EPIC MOMENT IN 1981, in many ways like that of the shepherd boy David who was pulled out of his daily duty of grazing sheep to be anointed as Israel’s new king.
