India Contemporary is an independent cultural publication exploring art, culture, design, performance and ideas across India and its global communities.

Based in London, independently owned and editorially led, India Contemporary carries no advertising. Our work is guided by curiosity, critical thinking and a belief in the importance of contemporary Indian culture and its place in global conversations.

The Magazine

Three times a year, India Contemporary publishes a print magazine devoted to a particular theme or aspect of contemporary culture. Thoughtful, independent and visually led, the magazine offers space for ideas and perspectives that extend beyond the pace and immediacy of digital publishing.

Our inaugural issue is dedicated to contemporary painting and features artists from India and its global communities.

Digital

Alongside the magazine, India Contemporary publishes new editorial throughout the week, offering an evolving view of contemporary Indian culture. We publish new stories from Monday to Thursday. From previews, reviews, profiles and discoveries to essays, interviews and critical features, we follow the artists, places and ideas shaping culture across India and its global communities.

Digital Membership gives unlimited access to the India Contemporary online editorial and archive, alongside ongoing coverage of major exhibitions, festivals, art fairs and cultural moments. Membership can also be combined with the three annual magazines, bringing together the depth of the magazine with the immediacy of our digital editorial.
