Indranjan Banerjee from Khoj International Artists’ Association, New Delhi will be on a research trip to Switzerland from 14 November to 3 December 2022. Khoj wishes to explore the expanded fields of design and technology through speculative artistic inquiry and build contemporary art discourse at the intersections of design-technology-digital practices. The research will inquire how local practices in critical design, contemporary art and crafts in South Asia can be in conversation with global practices and situate it in process in an ever changing technological milieu.
