PAC Pavilion of Contemporary Art – MILAN
November 25, 2025 – February 8, 2026
The PAC continues its journey through the diverse expressions of international contemporary art by presenting India. Di flagliori e fughe (India. Of Flashes and Escapes), a large-scale group exhibition exploring contemporary artistic practices in India, born from the urgency of living together and capable of resonating beyond the country’s geographical and cultural boundaries.
Curated by Raqs Media Collective and Ferran Barenblit, the exhibition is promoted by the City of Milan – Culture, produced by the PAC and Silvana Editoriale, and part of the Milan Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympics.
Conceived as a heterogeneous mosaic of unstable and evolving scenarios, the exhibition captures the complexity and tensions of Indian and global society. A rich and at times contradictory universe, narrated through works ranging from drawing to painting, photography, video art, and performance. The works on display embody both the fragility and resilience of collective life, indicating the possibility of change as much as disruption, of rejection as much as fantasy, suggesting glimmers of hope, escape routes, and other possible futures.
Thanks to a partnership with Casa Degli Artisti, thirteen of the selected artists were invited to a residency in Milan, where they produced site-specific projects for the exhibition, in dialogue with the city.
Some of the works on display were created with the collaboration of students of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and NABA, New Academy of Fine Arts.
