Khirkee-ki-Khoj: Arts Education Program

The Khirkee mural of May 2005 was an unwavering success, Khirkee-ki-Khoj is an extension of this project. KHOJ was approached by the Principal of the Gyan Deep Public School, inviting the artists who had painted the mural to teach their students art. A group of artists accepted the offer and worked on refreshing the school art curriculum. Aastha Chauhan, Sanjay Sharma, Ram Bali Chauhan, Rohini Devasher and Sonia Mehra Chawla, met the students twice a week throughout autumn and winter session  experimenting with exhibitions, photography, match sticks, cloth, magazine, wool, paint, glue and beyond.
