A message from our member SAC Art Amsterdam:

"The NICCT Synergy Series X SAC Art Amsterdam event, on 27/11, was a first in many respects – the first time NICCT hosted an event at a ‘soft’ business house and the first time SAC Art Amsterdam directly hosted corporate leaders at the gallery. As it is commonly known, corporate collections are amongst the largest in the world, and in turn we see that corporate acquisitions have deeply shaped the evolving landscape of patronage in the world of contemporary art. It is a symbiotic relationship.

Putting this in the context of South Asian Contemporary Art and its acquisition, Dr. Dhruv Janssen-Sanghavi, our keynote speaker for the evening, fleshed out the ‘art of collection’ and discussed how Indian contemporary art is having a moment on the global stage, while constantly reminding the room that living with art is in itself its first reward.

Thank you Dhruv, all the wonderful attendees and the NICCT for understanding and supporting our vision with and for South Asian Contemporary Art in the Netherlands and in Europe".

Last Thursday in Amsterdam, the NICCT Synergy Series brought together culture and commerce under the theme Bridging Cultures, Building Business in the India–Netherlands Corridor Through Art. Hosted by South Asian Contemporary Art Amsterdam, the evening highlighted how creativity continues to shape global understanding and collaboration.

After the opening by Mrs. Nordmann and Mrs. Hatimbhai, Mr. Dhruv Janssen Sanghavi reflected on why art is increasingly becoming a strategic corporate asset—soft power in action and a driver of the modern creative economy. Artist Shivangi Kalra then guided us into her world and her exhibition It’s Getting Out of Hand.

Kalra’s work explores nostalgia in all its complexity: tender and warm, yet unsettled by what lies beneath. Fragments of the past surface as half-heard conversations, gatherings touched by distant extravagance, and homes filled with splendour and secrecy. These memories resist closure—too vivid to forget, too elusive to grasp. Her paintings become spaces where memory plays tricks: sanguine yet haunting, deeply personal yet strangely shared. Architectural traces ground her imagery, while atmospheres drift in like afterimages of a once-lived life. It is a poetry of remembering and misremembering, where beauty and melancholy intertwine, and where the hidden refuses to stay concealed. It’s Getting Out of Hand invites us to step across a threshold into what is remembered, imagined, and everything that lingers in between.

As NICCT Chairwoman Edith shared in her opening speech: understanding India’s creative economy is part of understanding modern India—its confidence, innovation, and cultural power. Art informs, inspires, and influences, forging connections long before strategy does.

Our sincere thanks to Tasneem for bringing this concept to life, and to Shivangi Kalra for allowing us into her evocative artistic universe.

An evening of colours, conversations, and cross-cultural connections—exactly what strengthens the NL–India corridor.
