Hyderabad: Art Connect, a vibrant cultural initiative founded by Miheeka Bajaj Daggubati, is set to debut its first major exhibition, LUME//VYANA, in collaboration with A&H Colab. This highly anticipated art and design exhibition will open to the public on September 15th, 2025 at Spirit Connect (Plot No: 330, Beside RamaNaidu Studios, Road No. 79, Film Nagar), inviting art enthusiasts to immerse themselves in a world where light, vitality, and creativity converge. The LUME//VYANA exhibition marks the beginning of Art Connect’s series of experiential pop-up events. This ongoing series promises to bring together both established and emerging artists, creating an interactive space where diverse mediums—visual art, performance, design, and digital media—can spark conversation and inspire reflection. At the heart of LUME//VYANA is a curated collection that pushes boundaries across genres. The exhibition features over 30 pieces of art, including sculptures, fine jewellry, digital installations, and design objects, all thoughtfully curated under two distinct themes: LUME – Representing illumination, refinement, and structural elegance. VYANA – Expressing pulse, rhythm, and the sensuality of energy. Featured in the exhibition are the works of renowned design houses UMA Silver Designs and TALLIN Jewels, alongside captivating contributions from talented artists. UMA Silver Designs, created by Khyathi and Manish Jetwani, is known for its bespoke, handmade silver heirlooms. TALLIN Jewels, founded by Akshat Ghiya, blends Indian maximalism with Italian sensibilities, offering a collection of jewellry that juxtaposes unusual stones and cutting-edge designs. Miheeka Bajaj Daggubati, Founder of Art Connect, shared her vision for the exhibition, stating, “Art Connect is about creating conversations—between people and the art, between artists and their audiences, and between old voices and new expressions in the world of art. With LUME//VYANA, we hope to bring the layers of art into dialogue with the rich cultural heritage and growing design awareness in Hyderabad.” Echoing this sentiment, Amrita Kilachand and Hina Oomer Ahmed, the founders of A&H Colab, spoke about the exhibition’s collaborative spirit. “This is a space where light reveals form and energy sustains it, a choreography of brilliance where art and design come together,” they explained. “It’s a vision that we are excited to share with the city.” For LUME//VYANA, visitors can expect to see works that explore the intersection of beauty and functionality, prompting reflection on how we live with art, collect objects, and engage with design in both private and public spaces. The exhibition is open to the public from 11 AM to 7 PM on Monday, September 15th, 2025. The event is also supported by Fratelli Vineyards, enhancing the experience with fine wines. Select pieces will be available for purchase, allowing attendees to take home a part of this innovative showcase.
