The World in a Single Nest is a joint project between GES-2 House of Culture, the Rabindra Bhavana Museum at Visva-Bharati (a Central University) in West Bengal, and National Gallery of Modern Art. The exhibition offers a new perspective on one of the most significant figures in Indian culture: the poet, writer, composer, thinker, public figure, and artist, Rabindranath Tagore (1861—1941). Many of Tagore's ideas sound very modern. His views on such seemingly diverse phenomena as pedagogy and art education, internationalism, collective creativity, nature, and agriculture form a coherent philosophy. These themes became the leitmotifs of the exhibition 'The World in a Single Nest', and they are echoed in the works of contemporary artists from different countries. Engaging in dialogue with Tagore's philosophical and political reflections, these works show that he remains a highly relevant thinker even today. In this respect, together with 59 original paintings by Rabindranath Tagore works of artist faculties of Kala Bhavana and many of the artists who were ex-students of Kala Bhavana and invited artists from India and Russia also participated. The list of participating artists and art collectives include Abhishek Chakraborty, Ruma Chowdhury, Samit Das, Gaba, Sanchayan Ghosh, Sangeeta Maity, Liza Neklessa, Ivan Novikov, Raqs Media Collective, Ulyana Podkorytova, and The Otolith Group with Dr. Ranjani Ramachandran, Prasanta Sahu, among others.
