We Were Always Neighbours, curated by Sahil Arora (Founder, Method) for Asia NOW 2025, brings together emerging artists from India and Pakistan to resist imposed divisions and reimagine South Asia as a shared terrain of memory, gesture, and kinship. Through painting, sculpture, performance, and installation—ranging from intimate objects to site-specific interventions—the project transforms the Monnaie de Paris into a borderless corridor of dialogue and collaboration, carrying forward the simple yet radical truth: before we were divided, we were always neighbours.

Method x ARCO Madrid 2026
Home is a paradox: a promised sanctuary of safety and freedom, yet increasingly eroded by the forces that surround it. War reduces houses to rubble, urbanisation erases neighbourhoods and the histories they hold, and the pervasive gaze of surveillance follows us inside what was meant to be private. At Method's booth for ARCO Madrid 2025, four artists trace this broken promise. Sajid Wajid Shaikh's fractured concrete grill exposes vulnerability pushing through structures meant to be permanent; Shamir Iqtidar's intimate paintings reveal affection surviving under the watch of prying eyes; Ammama Malik's veiled figure occupies the unseen margins where women navigate constraint and defiance; and Syed Ali Sarvat Jafri's sculptures, built from salvaged bricks, carry the weight of homes and histories that refuse erasure. Together, they construct a vision of home as it truly is today: fragile, watched, contested, yet still a site where tenderness and memory persist.
