During the residency Deborah actively worked within the Walled City, facilitating learning exchanges with the communities and artisans living and working there to develop new work that will be showcased at Jodhpur Arts Week Special Projects Edition from 15th - 21st October 2024. 

Applications are now open for the second iteration of the residency which will be hosted from April 2025 for a minimum of 6 weeks.

Indian Institute of Technology, Jodhpur

A strategic partnership between the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ) and PATI will develop a new programme focusing on the mutual benefits for the institution, its students, and engaged artists.

Working directly with the Center of Excellence on Art and Digital Immersion (ADI) at the School of Liberal Arts (SoLA) the partnership will break up disciplinary silos, equipping students for the future, fostering global citizenship, innovative research, and societal contributions. Its mission also underscores the importance of quality liberal arts education to address contemporary challenges, focusing on experiential learning, transdisciplinary collaboration, and impactful research in under explored areas of Indian humanities and social sciences. 

Applications are now open for the first residency which will be hosted at IITJ from the 1 August - 12th September 2024.
