Khoj International Artists' Association

Khoj is a not-for-profit contemporary arts organisation based in New Delhi. Through their programmes they support and incubate emerging, experimental and transdisciplinary creative practices and pedagogies. Since their inception in 1997, they have been committed towards building global networks and solidarities, especially in the subcontinent. They believe that art is of intrinsic value to society; it is a crucial form of inquiry that provides unique insights and drives change through affect.

Khoj wishes to forge a robust, thriving art ecosystem, where the canon of what constitutes art has expanded. They strive for art to be understood and accepted as essential. They aim to build strong art networks and solidarities across the Global South, with their narratives and discourse seen as part of the international art discourse. Further, through their engagement with important issues, they wish to help create a more equitable, empathetic society.

Khoj runes programmes, has a residency space, provides training and has a grant programme.
