Khirkee Ki Khoj : Khirkee Mural
Khirkee ki Khoj were a series of community-based collaborative art projects, focused on creating accessible spaces to generate interactive dialogues with the Khirkee community. Eleven artists worked in collaboration with shopkeepers in Khirkee to develop a collective method of art-making.
About this edition
KHOJ has initiated a series of projects that aim to take art out of the gallery space and back into the public domain. In our previous interaction with the Khirkee community, we mapped the street, made friends with a few residents and held a show where we photographed friends and tried to unveil the various perspectives of friendship. KHOJ also carried out a kite-making workshop for the children in the community. In continuation with the community based art projects, the wall facing KHOJ was transformed into a gigantic canvas as part of the Khirkee Mural project in 2005.
