New Delhi, June 9 — As the world ushers in Pride Month this June, the national capital is witnessing a powerful celebration of love, identity, and self-expression through the medium of art. A vibrant queer art exhibition, curated by Praveen Mahto, has opened in Delhi, drawing visitors into a heartfelt journey through the diverse and dynamic world of Queer creativity.
The exhibition, which opened to an enthusiastic audience, showcases a rich tapestry of artworks — from bold paintings and evocative photographs to immersive installations and multimedia narratives. Each piece speaks to the lived experiences of queer individuals, exploring themes of freedom, resistance, belonging, and beauty beyond binaries.
Curator Praveen Mahto, known for championing inclusive art spaces, shared the motivation behind the exhibition: “This is not just about visibility. It’s about honoring queer voices that have long been silenced or sidelined. Through this show, we’re celebrating not only Pride but the courage it takes to live one’s truth.”
The gallery space has transformed into a sanctuary of expression, with artists from across the country and beyond contributing to the showcase. From defiant depictions of gender nonconformity to tender tributes to queer love, the works present a mosaic of identities that challenge societal norms and invite reflection.
Visitors to the exhibition are also encouraged to participate in open dialogues and storytelling sessions, making the space not just a display, but a living conversation on queer life, rights, and art.
As June unfolds with rainbow flags and Pride parades, this exhibition stands out as a poignant reminder that art continues to be a powerful medium for advocacy, empathy, and celebration. With Mahto’s curatorial vision at its heart, the show is a timely tribute to the resilience and brilliance of the queer community.
The exhibition will run throughout the month of June, offering Delhiites and visitors alike a chance to engage with voices that dare to be different — and proud.
