Here are five must-see art exhibitions in the city this month:<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>Is This My Circus? by Raseel Gujral Ansal<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-16-at-10.12.37-AM-2025-09-ce7b2744fd0fd0cf9628c99b21b436b4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">This September, New Delhi\u2019s historic Travancore Palace becomes the stage for Is This My Circus? \u2013 an immersive exhibition by designer and curator Raseel Gujral Ansal. Conceived as both spectacle and question, the showcase dissolves boundaries between art and performance, imagination and reality, legacy and reinvention.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">At its centre are Raseel\u2019s artworks presented under Sifar \u2013 her art studio and symbolic signature. More than a name, Sifar is both practice and philosophy: the space where her visions take form. Beginning as vivid dreams layered with memory, intuition, and imagination, each concept first enters into dialogue with AI, surfacing unexpected fragments like a subconscious circus. These are then refined by Raseel and her team, before being entrusted to master artisans who translate them into hand-rendered watercolours and sculptural forms.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Every piece carries the mark of Sifar \u2013 not as a claim of ownership but as a seal of humility, collaboration, and infinite possibility. Rooted in her father Satish Gujral\u2019s Urdu signature, Sifar reimagines authorship for a contemporary world: a collective act of creation that honours legacy while carving out new cultural space.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Placed in dialogue with rare works from Satish Gujral and mischievous sculptural simians by Ketan Amin, Raseel\u2019s Sifar pieces from the heart of this exhibition \u2013 a theatre of paradox where divinity meets vulnerability, and every vignette becomes both muse and provocation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Mrs Ansal would be delighted to share more on her vision for Is This My Circus? \u2013 from her creative dialogue with AI, to curating her father\u2019s legacy into the present, and the larger question of where Indian design sits within today\u2019s global cultural landscape.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><em>Preview Date and Time: 24th September 2025, 7 PM onwards<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><em>Exhibition Dates: 25th September \u2013 28th September 2025<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><em>Exhibition Time : 11 AM \u2013 7 PM<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><em>Venue: The Travancore Palace, New Delhi<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><strong>Dastkari Haat Samiti<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-16-at-5.14.54-PM-2025-09-ef54b1dafd5c8420950cb71aebe80f9f.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Dastkari Haat Samiti celebrates its 40th anniversary with a special craft bazaar from September 26 to October 5, 2025, at Handloom Haat, Janpath, New Delhi.

Kolkata-born and Delhi-based, the artist\u2019s feminist lens positions the female body as a powerful site of process and resistance. Her paintings often weave fantastical and otherworldly elements, intertwining figures with one another and with aspects of nature to create evocative, compelling narratives.<\/p>\n<p id=\"37\" class=\"story_para_37\"><em>When: 11 September \u2013 11 October<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"38\" class=\"story_para_38\"><em>Venue: Vadehra Art Gallery, Defence Colony, New Delhi<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Swati Chaturvedi\" title=\"Swati Chaturvedi\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/swati-chaturvedi-2023-11-311a7f6229417d5d5693180448c9311a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/swati-chaturvedi-22519.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Swati Chaturvedi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swati Chaturvedi, a seasoned media and journalism aficionado with over 10 years of expertise, is not just a storyteller; she&#8217;s a weaver of wit and wisdom in the digital landscape.
