// Rohingyas: Floating On The Dark Sea by Zarina Hashmi, created in 2015, is a poignant woodcut print that addresses the plight of the Rohingya people. This minimalist piece features a stark, solitary boat outlined in white against a vast black background, symbolizing isolation and despair. Above the boat, small dots representing distant stars add a sense of loneliness and vastness, while the black sea below is subtly marked with gentle waves. Zarina’s restrained style and use of monochromatic contrast underscore the emotional weight of displacement and survival in hostile conditions. Measuring 40 cm by 30 cm, this artwork captures a haunting moment that speaks to themes of migration, refuge, and the human cost of political conflict.

What is Contemporary art from India?
Contemporary art from India dates from 1985 to the present, marking the post-liberalization era. During this period, artists have felt free to create independently of traditional Hindu or social conventions. They often incorporate distinctly Indian materials and objects in their work, reflecting a blend of modern ideas and cultural heritage.
