Opn Art House (OAH) is a two-day, free-entry, multimedia art and design festival curated by Gaysi Family. Conceived as an open space for experimentation, the festival brings together emerging artists, designers, performers, and storytellers whose practices sit outside mainstream conventions.
The 2026 edition will take place on 14 and 15 February 2026 at Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, and is centred on the theme Rewriting Indian Classics. Through exhibitions, performances, and participatory formats, the festival examines how cultural “classics” are formed, remembered, and reinterpreted, and how power shapes what is preserved as heritage.
A key component of the festival is the Classic AF exhibition, featuring works by 15 artists who revisit and reframe Indian classics through contemporary lenses. The festival also includes an Art Bazaar with over 40 homegrown artists, small businesses, and independent brands presenting zines, prints, ceramics, jewellery, merchandise, and experimental design objects.
Alongside visual art and design, OAH 2026 will host performances, including appearances by international and Indian collectives, positioning the festival as a platform for alternative narratives, queer expression, and creative risk-taking.
