ABOUT US
About SITE Jodhpur
SITE Jodhpur is an interdisciplinary arts platform that brings together contemporary arts practice, crafts traditions, critical inquiry and public engagement. Conceived as a space for encounter and exchange, SITE Jodhpur fosters new artistic ecosystems that are rooted in collaboration, while foregrounding art as a vital part of everyday life. Through exhibitions, commissions, residencies, talks, learning initiatives, and community-led programmes, it creates opportunities for dialogue between artists, artisans, curators, scholars and diverse publics.
Situated in Jodhpur and shaped by the city’s living traditions and material cultures, the programme is designed as a fifty-day-long encouragement of site-responsive and socially engaged practices that connect contemporary art with local knowledge systems. Free and open to all, SITE Jodhpur is committed to democratising access to culture while creating a dynamic platform where experimentation, research and cultural exchange can generate meaningful public impact.
Through inclusive participation, international exchange and sustained community engagement, SITE Jodhpur seeks to generate lasting social and cultural impact, strengthen Jodhpur as a dynamic cultural destination, and situate the artistic ecologies of Rajasthan and India within a wider global conversation.

About Public Arts Trust of India
PATI is a platform dedicated to democratising arts and culture, grounded in the belief that art belongs to everyone. Founded in 2022 by Sana Rezwan, PATI works to foster a more holistic ecology for the arts in India through access, exchange, experimentation, and sustained support for creative practice. Its initiatives seek to nurture artists, expand public engagement with culture, and reinforce creativity as an essential part of everyday life.
Based in Rajasthan, operating between Jodhpur and Jaipur, PATI advances these goals through artist residencies, commissions, curatorial projects, education and professional development programmes, as well as collaborations with local and global brands, non-profit organisations, galleries, and individuals. All programmes are free and designed to give equal gravitas to emerging voices and internationally recognised practitioners.
PATI’s key initiatives include SITE Jodhpur, Jaipur Arts Week, and the PATI Residency Programme, each extending its commitment to dialogue, experimentation, and exchange.
