Beschreibung
Accompanying a landmark exhibition at V&A East, Contemporary South Asia Design is a vibrant, richly illustrated celebration of the most exciting and boundarypushing creative work emerging from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka today. It spotlights the designers, architects and artists reshaping South Asia's cultural landscape and influencing global conversations about innovation, sustainability and identity. Long viewed primarily through a historical lens, South Asian creativity is now undergoing a powerful transformation. Contemporary practitioners are reimagining inherited craft traditions, adapting generational knowledge, and developing bold new responses to the urgent urban and environmental challenges facing the region. From Gaurav Gupta's gravitydefying couture worn on red carpets worldwide to Marina Tabassum's ingenious Khudi Bari - a lightweight, floodresilient home that can be built and rebuilt by hand - these projects reveal a region alive with experimentation. Spanning art, design, architecture and fashion, this inspiring survey showcases creators who are embracing the richness, complexity and contradictions of their local contexts to produce work that is as inventive as it is impactful.
