Shakti: Fair & Fierce was a group exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, bringing together works by women artists exploring the idea of Shakti. Seema Kohli presented a selection of works curated by Sushma Bahl and Archana Bahl Sapra for the Museum of Sacred Arts, presented in collaboration with NGMA.

The exhibition explored the concept of Shakti — the primordial feminine energy — through diverse artistic practices, reflecting on its manifestations as both fierce and nurturing, destructive and creative. Kohli’s contribution engaged with the mythological and metaphysical dimensions of the divine feminine as a living, transformative force.
