Curatorship Program

Curatorship Program
| Jul 2010 - Sep 2010

Khoj International Artist's Association is hosting a residency programme for young curators from 20th July- 20th September 2010, as part of the four-year Curatorship Programme conceptualized by India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) in collaboration with select institutions across the country. This is the first in a series of projects that KHOJ will undertake as the nodal centre facilitating curatorial practice in the visual arts. The Curatorship Programme is funded by the Jamsetji Tata Trust.
The residency aims to establish a model of practice-based training for curators. The selected resident curators will benefit from the support and network of art practitioners that are associated with KHOJ. The first of its kind residency aims to develop a training ground for emerging curators who will engage with various modes of artistic practice as well as be actively involved in critical writing.

Gitanjali Dang and Oindrilla Maity were selected from amongst several applicants  by a jury comprising of  art critic  Geeta Kapur and the artist Anita Dube .

    Negotiating Routes: Ecologies of the Byways

    The Negotiating Routes – Ecologies of the Byways projects, across the country, are site-specific and have an inter-disciplinary approach that combines research and art creation by artists and local communities,  addressing the visible and invisible transformations currently taking place in their immediate environments. The project encourages archiving of local knowledge and mythologies about various ecologies like the flora, fauna, home remedies, stories and folklores as also mark the making of an artist by a specific action or project.
