Emerging Voices & Cross‑Medium Creativity

A new generation of artists is shaping Kolkata’s future. Creators like Rohan Dasgupta (metal sculptures from junk), Ipshita Roy (black-and-white street photography), and Debojyoti Basu (digital folklore collages) are making waves locally and online. They challenge norms, mix mediums, and often self-fund their projects. These artists draw on Kolkata’s deep cultural roots, while blending in global aesthetics, technology, and activism. Many collaborate across disciplines—dance, poetry, film—giving rise to a cross-pollinated, hybrid art culture.

In essence, Kolkata’s art landscape today is not confined to gallery walls. It spills onto the streets, breathes through collaborative studios, and pulses with youthful energy. The blend of immersive experiences, public art, and bold new voices is not only reshaping how art is made and viewed—it’s reimagining what art means in the City of Joy.
