Isha Ambani Returns as Chair of Serpentine Summer Party 2026

Isha Ambani will chair the Serpentine Summer Party for the second consecutive year on June 23, 2026, at Kensington Gardens, London. The event, Serpentine's largest annual fundraiser, supports free exhibitions, public programs, and educational initiatives. Ambani's return underscores India's growing cultural influence globally. She recently supported India's participation in the 61st Venice Biennale through the exhibition 'Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home,' curated by Amin Jaffer, a collaboration between the Ministry of Culture of India and the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. The party will feature an installation by artist Laila Gohar with vibrant silk air dancers inspired by Indian textiles, and Indian-inspired food and chai. Serpentine CEO Bettina Korek and Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist highlighted the alignment between the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre's mission and Serpentine's commitment to cross-cultural connections.
