Deeply associated with the Gandhi Film Foundation Art Gallery, he has curated a series of thought-provoking exhibitions that interpret the values and vision of Mahatma Gandhi through contemporary artistic expression.

At the Gandhi Film Foundation — an institution dedicated to preserving Gandhi’s life through archival films and cultural initiatives — Nikam has emerged as a leading curatorial voice.

Nikam’s curatorial style combines sensitivity with intellectual depth. He brings together painters, photographers, sculptors, and installation artists to create exhibitions that are not only visually compelling but emotionally and socially resonant.
