Delfina Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of A Selective Guide to the V&A’s South Asian Collection, a book that came out of artist Avani Tanya‘s joint residency at the V&A and Delfina Foundation in the summer of 2017.

During her three-month residency Avani was provided with a studio at V&A to research the museum’s South Asian collection, which provoked an array of questions. Rather than looking to the museum to answer them, Avani invited a variety of creative practitioners to share their personal interpretations, responses and connections to objects in the collection, resulting in this publication.
