The main objective of Pro Helvetia New Delhi is to help bring together Swiss and South Asian art practitioners and to forge sustainable networks.
Swiss artist Rahel Hegnauer who was on a Residency in India and participated in the International ECO + ART Residency at Khoj was invited to be part of the Mumbai Fesitival in 2009. DA MOTUS, the Swiss contemporary dance company from Switzerland, returned to India after they enthralled audiences in Delhi, Chandigarh and Jaipur to be part of the 48°C Project. When Denis Maillefer, Director Théâtre en Flammes, was invited back by the National School of Drama to run workshops for its third year students, after his very successful production at the Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2009, it was clear that Swiss arts had found a resonance among Indian audiences.
To continue our endeavour to forge closer ties between artists, we announce the Residencies 2011 / 2012 programme, and invite artists from the visual, performing and applied arts, as well as writers, curators and art mediators from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to apply for a Residency.
