Khoj International Artists' Association invites proposals from game developers, gamers, artists, architects, new media practitioners, authors, storytellers and other creative practitioners for Of Games – III, the third iteration of the art and gaming residency at Khoj.
The six week international residency will see each participating artist be given a production budget, accommodation, living expenses and production assistance to make innovative projects that are games or related to gaming.
Khoj encourages applications from self-taught artists and cultural practitioners. The theme this year is Community and proposals are invited on all possible interpretations of the term. The understanding of the term can encompass diverse strands of thought, including community-building and socially engaged practice, games as methodology for policy development and activism, critical narratives around gamer groups, gender and power within the world of gaming, racial representations and cultural imperialism within games, gaming historiography etc. Khoj welcomes proposals which have a broad understanding of games and gaming, including digital and video games, board games, performative gaming and live-action role-play, game studies research and academics etc.
