Isha Ambani announced as committee chair for Cate Blanchett-co-hosted Serpentine summer party

The Host Committee for one of the hottest tickets in town, the Serpentine Gallery‘s annual invite-only summer party, will be chaired by Indian businesswoman Isha Ambani, with Hollywood star Cate Blanchett confirmed as co-host of the exclusive event.

Ambani, daughter of Asia’s richest man, Reliance Industries boss Mukesh Ambani, has been confirmed as chair of the inaugural Host Committee for the Serpentine summer party 2025, which will be co-hosted by Michael R. Bloomberg, chairman of Serpentine’s Board of Trustees, CEO Bettina Korek and artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist, alongside actor and arts champion Blanchett.

This year’s party will spotlight Indian contemporary art and will feature a commissioned installation by artist Subodh Gupta. The sculptural piece which reimagines his work, A Place in the Sun, resembles a rickshaw and is assembled from everyday Indian objects such as tiffin boxes, thali pans, bicycles and milk pails.
