The lockdown has actually locked our souls-hasn't it? Freedom is the mother of blooming Arts and the pandemic has put freedom itself under lock and key. The artist in you must be exhausted! But now it is time to break the shackles and let ideas flow freely.

Dear Artist,

I have news for you. Pack your bags and your ideas and head to Jibhi this December. Let your art kiss freedom, while the winter Himalayas and other artists extend their warm welcome to you.

Want to know more?

Shoonya project is organizing a winter art Residency ,'Reboot', in the month of December at Jibhi in Himachal Pradesh. Here, artists from different genres would come together to rewire their inner self and unleash their thoughts and creativity in the lap of the mighty Himalayas. Through workshops, riverside walks, treks, morning meditations, mountain stories, star gazing, sharing of ideas and a lot of other activities, every artist would embark on a journey of transformation of inner self, while creating unique art forms through collaborations and become messengers of mindful travelling.

The winter art residency would take place from 1st to 15th of December 2020, in Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh.

What can you expect?

Can you think of anything better than a morning meditation to make you feel rejuvenated? Is there anything other than treks and hikes that can connect one with the mountains more closely? What do you think about sitting under the night sky and gazing at the millions of twinkling stars along with other like minded fellows? How about sharing and exhibiting your artistic talents with each other over a bon fire? How about creating something new together? Sounds fascinating, right? Shoonya has designed this winter art residency keeping all this in mind. Treks to Raghupur fort and Serolsar Lake, hikes to waterfalls, bird watching, yoga, workshops and other events are a part of the itinerary.

The most important point to note!

Since, this is not a normal year and a huge gathering might lead to a spike of COVID-19 cases, Project Shoonya has limited the gathering to only 10 artists.
