We believe that people deserve to know the truest depths of themselves. The Soul Company’s craft lies in creating journeys that compel self-transformation: be it a re-look at something small you’ve always taken for granted, or a big shift that reminds you that there’s no shame in basically, starting over.Whether it’s just for one evening or for a week, we exist so that you can embark on a journey you never knew was possible: this could be an expert-guided expedition journey in to the thickest jungles of India, or a personal exploration of a top chef’s world. Regardless of where you go – to a neighbourhood next door or to a town you barely knew existed – you’ll come back refreshed, re-invigorated, and transformed.
Our collaborations are bent on breaking down the mystified consumer/business divide through personal storytelling and intimate interactions. Together, we get up close and personal, and travel behind the scenes to uncover what makes for the most compelling ideas, the most innovate thoughts, and richest biographies.
Established in the year 2000, Tao has developed into a well-recognized brand in the Mumbai art space. Guided by connoisseur and self-taught artist, Kalpana Shah, it has seen the art market in all its highs and lows. From the days when the gallery’s walls were resplendent with the works of Indian Masters like Hussain, Raza, and Tyeb Mehta in the early 2000’s, to recovery after the financial crisis with a new younger crop of artists, Tao has experienced many waves of change.
In its 20-year history, Tao has curated uniquely conceptualized shows highlighting diverse art forms like painting, photography, sculpture, video, performance as well as installation arts in its two exhibition galleries. The Gallery is very open-minded towards any creative expression and emphasizes on the powerful and innovative presentation of artistic ability, building a thought provoking experience for all its viewers and inviting dialogue on culture, aesthetics and the tradition of visual arts. Tao has also been actively involved in publishing various art books and organizing art education workshops, interactive sessions with artists and other knowledge-based lectures that aim to propagate love for art, and boost the presence of Indian Art in the global arena. Tao’s macro-vision sees art not in isolation, but as having a cohesive relationship with life itself.
