Absolut has been a pioneer of creative, purpose-led cultural initiatives that focus on self-expression through art and design. In the past, the brand has collaborated with artists like Subodh Gupta, Anish Kapoor, Bharti Kher and Vikram Seth to create several meaningful campaigns. For a brand-new campaign this year, Absolut has associated with multidisciplinary artist Osheen Siva to launch a thought-provoking limited-edition bottle that celebrates the multifaceted identities that define the youth of India, while looking forward to a hopeful future marked by inclusivity and acceptance.

Through their bold design, Siva showcases a rich blend of the traditional and the modern that reflects the brand's ethos. The artwork is divided into three parts. The figure on the left reflects the traditional values deeply rooted in Indian culture, while the figure on the right represents fluidity, queerness and the future as a non-binary character.
