Art for Change Foundation is a New Delhi-based arts organization founded by passionate individuals with the conviction that art plays a profound role in exploring questions of human dignity and the common good. For the last 14 years Art for Change has pursued a vision to see art shape society with beauty and truth—and to see artists find their place in society and flourish.
The Nature of Difference
In June 2023 fifteen artists from across India and around the globe gathered for two weeks of immersive engagement and art-making in the foothills of the Himalaya on the campus of the historic Woodstock School for the 8th Art for Change International Artist Residency on the theme ‘The Nature of Difference.’ Situated between the majesty of the snowcapped Himalaya and the burgeoning metropolis of Dehradun in the valley below, the residency was perfectly positioned to unpack a multiplicity of issues in the context of ‘persons’ and ‘place’, in the particularity of the Himalayan mountains and India more broadly, to explore difference and diversity in nature, in human beings and society, and the world at large.
