Prameya Art Foundation (PRAF) is a nomadic institutional arts framework based in New Delhi, focusing primarily on the city and the wider South Asian region. Its projects and programs are conceptualized with curatorial agility to respond to local creative conversations and infrastructures, and by building strategic partnerships and collaborations with global contexts. This approach situates South Asian practices within extended constellations of shared concerns across geographies. Prameya, meaning knowledge in Sanskrit, informs the non-profit organization’s experiences of alternative pedagogical encounters for creative practitioners, their approach to the arts as discursive space and dialogue as future.

PRAF was founded by Anahita Taneja and Shefali Somani after a decade of experience in the Indian arts context, to address the limited presence of institutional spaces in the region. For their work, they have been awarded the insignia of Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. PRAF is a member of the World Art Foundation.
