South Asian Contemporary Art Amsterdam
established by Tasneem Hatimbhai, is an art house that specialises in modern and contemporary art from India and South Asia.
@sacart.ams aims to extend awareness of the scope of contemporary and modern art from the Indian subcontinent, encouraging international and European recognition for its many talented artists.
Established in 2024, SAC Art Amsterdam seeks to create an open and inviting cultural space which sparks curiosity and discovery through a programme that engages with both, a specialist audience and a wider community. SAC Art Amsterdam currently supports and promotes the works of several artists from Mumbai and Kochi, India.
but it is something I have been thinking about for a while. Joeri and myself love contemporary art from the sub-continent – our first painting was from Sri Lanka by @rubertsoysa , bought at @paradiseroad_srilanka through @saskiafernando.
SAC Art is a new venture!
Since then our little collection has grown. I have been writing in art journals and magazines for over 15 years and turned to @mumbaimills for creativity in both Mumbai and Amsterdam.
During my MSc at @uva_amsterdam, my thesis was about the patterns of contemporary Indian artists at global auctions and my postgraduate course @jnanapravaha_mumbai in Aesthetics, Criticism and Theory also leaned towards contemporary art.
Over the past 8 years that we’ve lived in Amsterdam, I’ve been scouting the Dutch art scene for Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi art… but haven’t found much and not consistently. @sacart.ams aims to extend awareness of the scope of contemporary and modern art from the Indian subcontinent, encouraging international and European recognition for its many talented artists. Through SAC Art, we hope to work towards creating an open and inviting cultural space which sparks curiosity and discovery.
