The Day After

This gallery sector curated by Simon Njami highlights artists from across the African continent in an exhibition format. The main idea of the day after which can only occur if it is related to subjectivity and conviction is that artists are the sole bearers of an unstained subjectivity.

Material-Real

A new gallery sector that highlights emerging and established Korean artists chosen by their innovative artworks that are curated by Sung Woo Kim.

India Today

Curated by Ashwin Thadani, this sector brings together artists and galleries from India for the second year in a row.
