The KHOJ International Residency Programme was initiated by KHOJ Delhi in 2000. International residencies are organized on a regular basis at the KHOJ Studio building in Delhi which was acquired in November 2002.
The residencies function as art laboratories offering artists the opportunity to live and work in Delhi and interact with local artists; to expand their network internationally and to experience a climate of cultural diversity.
The International Residencies have evolved over 2004-06 into a specific thematic framework. The Residencies at KHOJ have deliberately focused on marginalized or nascent areas of contemporary art practice in India.. The programming is further structured so each genre is allowed an appreciable time within which to come to fruition. As a consequence each genre is made a consistent part of the program for at least 3-4 years.
KHOJ organizes up to 3 international residencies a year which are normally along the following time lines:
Each residency is 4- 6 weeks long and culminates in an Open Studio Day for public viewing. Three to four international artists work alongside one - two Indian artists at the KHOJ studios in Khirkee village.
The artists live together in the KHOJ Hostel in south Delhi which is about 4 kms from the KHOJ studios.
Participation is usually by invitation, however applications are welcome.
