Sid Pattni’s residency at Khōj in New Delhi, India, will focus on historical research into Indian miniature painting, concentrating on the impact of colonial rule on artistic patronage in India in the 18th and 19th centuries. While in New Delhi he will study primary and secondary sources including texts, archival materials and scholarly publications to gain a comprehensive understanding of the art form, enabling him to engage with and reinterpret historical themes while pursuing collaborations with local artists. 

Pattni inaugurates a new partnership between PICA and Khōj that enables mid-career artists to develop their work in new cultural contexts, building global networks and sharing their projects with new audiences.
