Prameya Art Foundation (PRAF) is a nomadic  institutional framework for the arts based in  New Delhi, focusing primarily on the city and the  extended South Asia region. Their projects and  programs are conceptualized with curatorial  agility to respond to creative conversations and  infrastructures locally, and by building strategic  partnerships and collaborations with global  contexts. This approach situates practices from  South Asia within extended constellations of  shared concerns across geographies. Prameya,  meaning knowledge in Sanskrit, informs the  not-for-profit’s experiments with alternative  pedagogical encounters for creative practitioners,  their approach to the arts as a discursive space,  and dialogue as their future.

PRAF was founded by Anahita Taneja and Shefali  Somani after a decade of experience working in the  Indian arts context to address the limited presence  of institutional spaces in the region. For their work,  they were conferred the insignia of Officier dans  l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Officer of the Order  of Arts and Letters) by the government of France.  PRAF is a member of the World Art Foundation.
