About this edition
For the year 2021, Khoj is delighted to announce the start of three new projects as part of Peripheries & Crossovers: art as social practice. The participants for this year are Stuti Pradhan, Saleha Sapra & Riddhi Batra and Swati Janu. For the year 2021, Stuti Pradhan will work with migrant women in the informal sector to bring out stories from the North East to inform a participatory and gender-responsive policy framework. Saleha Sapra & Riddhi Batra aim to work with resource-poor women vendor groups in various locations across New Delhi who have been impacted by spatial injustice, to re-imagine, reclaim and co-create their places of work . Swati Janu’s year-long engagement will focus on rights based advocacy with the women of Yamuna Khadar to rethink their collective imaginations of the city.
