A gallery unveils a giant swastika from an up and coming artist.
Within hours the exhibition is trending, protests are gathering outside, sponsors are threatening to walk away and the police are asking questions.
But what if everyone has misunderstood the artwork?
As an Indian artist fights to reclaim one of the world’s oldest symbols, those around her become trapped in a battle over culture, identity, fear and public perception. In an age where social media decides the story before the facts emerge, who gets to decide what art means?
Swastika is a new drama about the stories we inherit - and the ones we’re too frightened to question.
