The signing of the agreement signifies a mutual interest by India and the United Kingdom to develop institutional and artistic collaborations. The project will involve exhibitions, research, fellowships, collection care, educational programmes and loans. The agreement was signed in New Delhi by Shri Pramod Jain, Joint Secretary of theMinistry of Culture, Government of India, and Tate’s Head of International Partnerships Judith Nesbitt.
In the press release, Tate Director Sir Nicholas Serota said:
This timely agreement will support the reciprocal exchange of ideas and knowledge in the field of modern and contemporary art in India and the UK, allowing deeper engagement with art for audiences in both nations.
A series of collaborations
This agreement is the latest in a series of collaborations between India and the Tate. In 2007, India’s Ministry of Culture and the National Gallery of Modern Art worked with Munich’s Haus der Kunst and London’s Tate Modern on an exhibition of Amrita Sher-Gil’s work that was subsequently shown in Munich and London.
Tate Modern has also been collaborating with Khoj International Artists’ Association on an exhibition titled “Project Space: Word. Sound. Power.” Project Space at Tate Modern began in 2011 and is a curatorial exchange programme that aims to collaborate with cultural organisations across the world to feature contemporary art. The programme brings together emerging and young curators from Tate and international institutions to curate an exhibition to be shown in both locations. “Word. Sound. Power.” was exhibited in London in 2013 and in New Delhi in early 2014.
Additionally, Tate and the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) have worked in partnership to exchange expertise on heritage and collection care.

Forthcoming projects
From 6 June to 5 October 2014, Tate Liverpool will present an exhibition featuring the work of Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990), who was born in Karachi, Pakistan, and raised in Mumbai, India. The exhibition will be comprised of works brought to the UK from private and public collections across India, and is the largest solo show of her work in the UK to date.
India’s international collaborations
The Secretary of India’s Ministry of Culture, Shri Ravindra Singh said that the agreement with Tate,
is a part of a series of international collaborations undertaken by the Ministry of Culture, which would strengthen the Museum sector in the country and lead to a cross pollination of ideas.
In December 2013, India signed an agreement for a three-year cultural exchange with Venezuela, which includes exchanges and institutional links in the fields of visual art and film.
In October 2013, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi hosted an exhibition of Hungarian contemporary art, showcasing 40 artists from Hungary and exploring diverse themes in art and architecture.
Earlier in 2013, the Indian Ministry of Culture also signed a similar Memorandum of Understanding with New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
