Our Story
The idea of Khoj began in 1997 as a gift of possibility given by Robert Loder (the visionary founder of the Triangle Arts Trust)
When Indian artists felt isolated and unsupported, Khoj enabled young practitioners to create art in an open-ended, experimental manner, by providing a space independent of formal institutions and the constraints of the commercial gallery.
It offered the chance to establish international networks without institutional support, and emerged as the only organisation providing an ‘alternative’ space for contemporary art practice.
From its modest beginnings 25 years ago as an annual workshop, today, Khoj plays a central role in the development of experimental, interdisciplinary and critical contemporary art practice in India, constantly challenging the established thinking about art.
