The Centre’s goal is to take indigenous knowledge and phenomena, such as the concept of darshan, and other community-specific insights to a global scale. Central to this mission is the recognition and support of interdisciplinary ideas across the arts & sciences intersecting with photography and related media. The Centre serves as a vital platform for such explorations, offering different opportunities to engage in dialogue and contribute to a broader visual and cultural discourse. Through offering a variety of workshops, publications, studio projects, and exhibitions, the Centre aims to foster a vibrant community where ideas are exchanged, collaborations can flourish, and diverse voices are heard.
