Sustaina 3, 1 to 15 Feb 2026,
Bikaner House, New Delhi
Curated by Thukral and Tagra
In the third year of Sustaina India, “Bitter Nectar” examines the politics and complexities embedded in a seemingly simple desire: the pursuit of sweetness, of fruit harvested at its most perfect moment of ripeness. Climate change and its profound impacts are understood here in tandem with fruiting cycles, seasonal rhythms, and systems of sustenance. Through this lens, the exhibition traces shifting tastes and conditions, expanding our understanding of the tensions and contradictions inherent in what it means to be a “fruit” within today’s socio-ecological and political landscape.

At the heart of Sustaina India is learning that sustainability is a gradual and decentralized process of adapting to climate change. It cannot be imported and transposed, but needs to be built from the ground up across disciplines and demographics. When we received the invitation from CEEW over a year ago to establish a platform that could host conversations around art, science, and climate, we turned to material-based practices and solutions. As creators, we firmly believe in the power of materials to channel a sensorium of touch, smell, sound, and vision as paths to climate awareness and retention for the current and future generations.
About Sustaina
As scientific evidence about the alarming impacts of climate change keeps emerging, we face the need to reimagine habitable futures. Sustaina India stems from this urgency to catalyze pollinations across art, science, and policy-making. Sustaina India mobilizes creators to integrate decentralized climate awareness and sustainability conversations into the cultural fabric of India and beyond.
Sustaina India is curated by Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra.
Organized by Mihir Shah, Milan Jacob and Vidusshi Pathak (Council on Energy, Environment and Water)
