Over the past few days, Khoj has been reflecting on Raghu Rai and the extraordinary contribution he made to Indian art and photography.

His practice shaped and inspired generations of photographers. Across a career spanning decades, he approached India with patience, precision, and a profound love. Moving through its streets with quiet attentiveness, he developed a way of seeing that was both deeply intimate and widely resonant.

We are deeply saddened by his passing, and at the same time, grateful for the immense body of work and vision he leaves behind. His images will continue to shape how we look and remember.

Glimpses from When We Return, the closing chapter of CISA 2025 at Khoj Studios.

Over the past days, the exhibition welcomed artists, curators, researchers, and visitors into its reflections on return, memory, distance, and belonging. We are grateful to everyone who spent time with the works and conversations, and to all those who engaged with the exhibition so thoughtfully throughout its run.

We also acknowledge Emdadul Haque Topu and Hengame Hosseini, who were unable to join us in Delhi, but whose contributions were central to When We Return and deeply felt across the exhibition.

Thank you to everyone who made this chapter possible and to all who visited, listened, and reflected with us.

Special thanks to CISA mentors Shuddhabrata Sengupta and Latika Gupta.
