Khoj International Artists’ Association, in collaboration with Mozilla Foundation, invites applications for the Counterstructures Residency, a six-week programme for creative technologists to prototype and develop projects that question how AI systems shape the ways we create, remember, interpret and share knowledge.

The Delhi edition invites artists and creative technologists to respond to one or both of two thematic tracks:
Retaining Cultural Authority — exploring how communities can retain agency over what is digitised, interpreted, reused or kept private.

Remembering and Thinking With Machines — investigating where human judgment enters systems increasingly shaped by AI, and what forms of knowledge might be transformed or lost in the process.

The residency offers time, resources and support to develop experimental prototypes that engage with these questions and imagine ways of working with, against or beyond increasingly predictive and deterministic systems.
Projects may take a range of forms, but should critically respond to the concerns outlined in the two thematic tracks.

Residency Dates: 1 October–12 November 2026

Application deadline: 13 September 2026

Please note: This opportunity is for Indian nationals only.
