Colonialism, Resistance & Partition

This collection brings together artworks that capture the upheavals of colonial rule, the struggles of resistance and the human cost of forced borders. These scenes reflect the lives of people who endured occupation, defended their dignity or were displaced by partitions drawn without their voice. They highlight stories of courage, loss, resilience and the determination to preserve identity under overwhelming pressure.

The pieces invite viewers to consider how empire reshaped societies across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, and how its legacies continue to shape the modern world. Together they offer a concise yet powerful window into moments where ordinary people carried extraordinary burdens and where the fight for justice, land and belonging became part of collective memory.
