Background Note of the Festival
March 25th -30th 2008, the KHOJLIVE 08 will be a dynamic 6 day programme of events which will bring together exciting, diverse Indian and International performance artists in an attempt to showcase the different currents, positions and possibilities of contemporary performance artists. Artists from Germany, France, South Africa, Thailand, The Netherhalnds, Pakistan, Nepal , Indonesia amongst others have confirmed participation. Beginning with the first International Workshop in 1997 to more recent International Residencies devoted solely to the genre, KHOJ has always encouraged performance art practice.

Objectives of the Festival

• To support the concept and practice of performance art in India.
• To create a discursive space for the “live arts”.
• To build new audiences and encourage a critical engagement with performance art.
• To celebrate KHOJ’s decade long involvement with the genre.
• To expose younger artists, students to the newer ideas of Performance and Live Arts prevalent across the world.

A first for Indian audiences, each performance will be hosted in a prominent art gallery across the city over the course of one week. By placing live arts in the Max Mueller Bhavan, Alliance Francais, Palette Art Gallery, Anant Art Gallery and Gallery Espace we hope to reach a wider and a newer kind of audiences.

# ALL PROGRAMMES AND SCHEDULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Do call up the venue and confirm.
