PhotoKTM partners with Srijanalaya for each edition of the festival to design a robust Arts and Education program. We connect young people and educators with the primary exhibitions and programs hosted by the festival so that their visits can be immersive learning experiences. Using a variety of media and modalities, the Arts and Education program provides opportunities and encourages visitors and participants to reflect on their own practices and produce relevant work. You can see glimpses of the previous editions here.

A team of artists and educators are collaborating to offer a variety of interactions for students, teachers, and members of civil society with these thematic strands, with the overarching goal of learning from each other and taking action. The program is designed to engage with the artworks in the exhibition spaces. The team invites you for interactive guided tours and activities that facilitate active listening, empathy, visual literacy, and critical thinking. The arts and education program for this edition of PhotoKTM is designed for students Grade 8 or 14 years and above. Bachelors level and Masters level students are also highly encouraged to join us.

As part of the Arts and Education program the following options are being offered, free of cost. Please feel free to let us know what you would like to book.
