Program Outline:
As part of TAKE on art magazine's outreach initiatives, this four-day program is geared at writers from around India as an opportunity to workshop a new or recent piece of writing (hitherto unpublished) based on peer-to-peer critique and feedback in a closed-door environment. Time will be allocated for revisions and some access to online resources will be provided on-site. The workshop will culminate in a public presentation of each written work, with further comments, suggestions and questions from attendees and invited respondents. After the end of the workshop, participants will have a month to further edit their writing before submitting final manuscripts for publication in a special issue.
In addition to this process, the program will also include time for discussion prompted by pre-assigned readings around the history of art criticism and the role of the critic (in India and internationally). Ample opportunities will be provided for informal conversation and, exchange within the group and with the local art community.
Please note that this program requires complete commitment for the duration of the workshop as well as a substantial investment of time in the peer-editing process before and after.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
