The art season arrives in Delhi with the four-day-long India Art Fair (February 5-8). But as always, the real action spills beyond the fairgrounds—into galleries, standalone exhibitions, performances, and gatherings across the city. Consider this your Nod-approved guide to making the most of Delhi, India Art Fair and everything around it. From parallel exhibitions and city-wide showcases with names like Ai Weiwei, Tyeb Mehta, and Tara Lal in the mix, these are shows, spaces, and moments worth stepping out for. Also we speak to a few attendees about what they’re wearing and how it all came together: Vimal totes, pillbox hats, and everything in between. This year, the mood feels more playful and layered than usual, with Delhi’s art crowd dressing like they’re meant to be part of the exhibition rather than just passing through it.
And if you’re stuck at home this weekend, catch up on your reading with Rhea Chakraborty’s interview on The Nod. The actor turned podcaster and entrepreneur reflects on the de-evolution of the media, the most difficult time of her life, and how she managed to reframe her story.
