Although there might be much strife between and within three particular South Asian cultures, sometimes all it takes a few well-placed images to show just how much they have in common; take the ‘Where Three Dreams Cross’ exhibition, for example.

Unveiled in London’s Whitechapel Gallery , the ‘Where Three Dreams Cross’ collection shows 300 works over 150 years of life in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This is one impressive cultural feat. As they say, pictures speak louder than words.
