Turbine Bagh by Sofia Karim

Turbine Bagh is a UK-based platform for political art and activism, focusing on human rights in India and Bangladesh.

The Turbine Bagh exhibition emerged around a protest planned for the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. ‘Turbine Bagh’ is a referance to Shaheen Bagh, the women-led protest in Delhi which was the epicenter of the pro-democracy movement in India in 2019-20.
