“I jumped at the opportunity of exhibiting my artworks in India,” says artist Anj Smith, who has been brought up around the Indian diaspora in London. “I love India. I have been here once before when I came down to Kerala for a holiday and I had a fantastic time. In London too, there is such a huge Indian diaspora, so I grew up surrounded by the Indian culture in one way or the other, through friends and through the writers we read about. There were many connections. So, I have always wanted to hold an exhibition here,” she adds.
