It is difficult to imagine Swallow in the company of Sikh swords. At The Courtauld, she has been encouraging the institution’s engagement with Indian and other Asian art, with their cultural heritage and with global art history. In that sense, her journeys to India anticipated the West’s growing interest in Indian art, especially contemporary art. Two of her recent PhD students have worked on Buddhist art and contemporary Indian art. Swallow’s research interests are Indian modern and contemporary art, Indian textile and craft production and Indian museums and their histories.
