International Residency 2002

2002 was the year when the KHOJ Studio building came into being in the anomaly of the urban/rural that is Khirkee village, anchoring an erstwhile tentative, fluid entity into brick and mortar. KHOJ sits on the edge of Khirkee Gaon – an “Urban village” very close to Malviya Nagar situated in the south of Delhi, established in the 13th Century and known for its famous and stunningly beautiful Khirkee Masjid (mosque) built in 1380 AD. KHOJ Studios, Delhi began as an experiment - a ‘what if’ enquiry post 5 years of annual workshops, when there was a need to move beyond the workshop and perhaps towards more sustained programming.
