Farm8 Artist Residency / Studio Array

Located in Arjanghar, New Delhi, The artist residency, Farm 8 is nestled in a verdant oasis, within an otherwise densely packed urban village. Almost a decade ago, the clients intended to use the site as an artist's studio space for themselves. Foundations and columns were thus cast at the time, unfortunately, the on-site work was stalled for unforeseen reasons. In 2020, with evolving needs and lifestyles, the artist-clients began using the 5-acre farm for sustainable farming and experimental permaculture practices as part of an artist collective called Farm8. The collective is headed by artists Ranbir and Rashmi Kaleka along with Late Vivan Sunderam, Bharti Kher, Jagannath Panda, Jogen Chowdhury, Meera Menezes, Rajiv Bhargawa and Anil Chowdhury, Eegje Schoo.
