ART X Technology Residency (PATI X IITJ)

Collaborative Residency Programme Open Call 2025

The Public Arts Trust of India (PATI) and the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ) are pleased to announce an Open Call for artists whose work intersects the disciplines of art, design, technology, science, and digital innovation.

Applications will be reviewed by our selection jury of international arts professionals, including artists Jasmine Nilani, Munem Wasif, Lubna Mobied, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta - Artist - Raqs Media Collective. 

Part of strategic partnership with IITJ’s Center of Excellence on Art and Digital Immersion (ADI) at the School of Liberal Arts (SoLA), the residency is designed as an extracurricular initiative, aligned with SoLA's vision for a transdisciplinary, inclusive, and forward-thinking liberal humanist approach while breaking down disciplinary silos.

As an artist-in-residence, you will engage with life on IITJ’s campus, with full access to the university’s lecture programme, resources, and expertise through the extensive faculty cohort. The residency offers ample opportunity to expand and enrich your creative practice through collaborations with the student body, faculty at IITJ, and the wider community across Jodhpur.

This unique programme provides an opportunity to share your work and ideas with a new audience, equipping IITJ’s students for the future by fostering global citizenship, innovative research, and societal contributions. It emphasises experiential learning, transdisciplinary collaboration, and impactful research in under-explored areas of Indian humanities and social sciences.

The resident will be expected to produce new work in collaboration with IITJ’s students and the wider communities of Jodhpur. This work will be showcased during Jodhpur Arts Week Edition 1.0 from 1st to 7th October, 2025 at one of our venues in the heart of the city.
