‘The World Ends at the Proscenium’ is a group exhibition curated by Khushboo Jain, it consists of miniature paintings that examines contemporary geopolitics through the metaphor of theatre. What does it mean to look at conflict when history itself has been shaped by what was allowed to be seen? When power has always relied on the careful staging of events, how do we distinguish reality from its performance?

Nationality, religion, language, and gender become performative markers that determine access, safety, and visibility. Individuals are required to navigate shifting scripts in order to remain legible within systems of power.
