THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US

02.12.2025 – 08.12.2025 | Aishwarya Sultania, Harald Schole, Nilesh Shidhpura

It began in a desert village in Rajasthan, where three artists were brought together by chance, bound by light, dust, and the rhythm of shared discovery. What followed was a friendship that travelled beyond geography and sustained over time, through conversation, in the quiet unfolding of practice.

After Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam, Aishwarya Sultania, Harald Schole and Nilesh Sidhpuria will bring their work to South Asian Contemporary Art Amsterdam, a node for such dialogue, traversing continents and time.

At the heart of this show lies a question: What has following each other’s work, from a distance, brought?

Sculptures inspired by marvel, drawings obsessed with space, and cyanotypes that began with the idea of making love to the sun — each carrying traces of friendship, time, and transformation.

‘The Distance between us’ is both a continuation and a return, revealing the spaces in between, where art becomes a shared language of memory and change, and where the first light of the desert still shimmers in the distance.
