G20 Art Project: Together We Art

The G20 Art Project: Together We Art,was an international contemporary visual arts project conceptualised by the Culture Working Group (CWG), Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in collaboration with Bihar Museum, Patna, to celebrate the diverse artistic practices of the G20 members and invitee countries. This project was based on India’s G20 Presidency theme ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘One Earth • One Family • One Future’ and the CWG’s hallmark campaign ‘Culture Unites All’. Together We Art showcased 46 artworks by distinguished contemporary artists from the G20 membership, in various mediums like painting, graphics, etching, photography, film, video, installation, AI, and mixed media.

The G20 Art Project integrated the artistic response to many concerns of the G20 membership.From climate change to gender inclusion, migrations to identity, and global oneness to materiality, Together We Art created the most intricate patterns of human understanding, woven through the web of ideas expressed by over 40 participating artists. This multidisciplinary exhibition served as a powerful testament to the unifying potential of art. The convergence of diverse artistic expressions became a celebration of human creativity, uniting artists, and audiences from different corners of the world.

The G20 Art Project- Together We Artwas curated by Dr Alka Pande and opened on 7 August 2023 with the 2nd edition of the Bihar Museum Biennale 2023. The exhibition was on view to the public till 7 October 2023 and was accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue. The project was supported by the Indian Institute of Heritage.
