about the ‘art’ space

community video art project, Govindpuri 2005

jhuggi: hindi term that describes informal structures built by the poor out of found materials for housing in the slums of India.

art-jhuggi: an informal art/curatorial project that borrows from contemporary art and popular culture. we organize informal art and unconventional curatorial projects to examine connections between different economies and people. our current project is the launch of a d.i.y. (do it yourself) alternative ‘art’ space from an apartment in lajpat nagar, new delhi. our goal is to explore alternative economies and possibilities for exchange within and through the brokering of art and artists.

art-jhuggi is a non-commercial, independent, self-financed project—we do not sell work or solicit funds from NGOs or the govt.
