Doraha Dialogues is an interdisciplinary cultural programme set within a century-old kothi in Doraha, Punjab. It brings together artists, writers, ecologists, archivists, and community practitioners to explore the intersections of land, labour, memory, and climate change.
The kothi becomes a living archive — hosting slow, research-based artistic practices rooted in soil, history, and community relationships. Through residencies, dialogues, exhibitions, heritage walks, and rural exchanges, Doraha Dialogues positions culture as sustained engagement rather than spectacle.
At a time of ecological stress and cultural transition in Punjab — depleted soils, falling groundwater, air pollution, and shifting youth identities — Doraha Dialogues asserts that rural knowledge is global knowledge. It asks how art and heritage can help communities understand environmental change as it is lived.
